How do I document a mental status examination?
In the structured order your program uses, typically appearance and behavior, speech, mood and affect, thought process and content, perception, cognition, insight and judgment. Describe what you observed rather than labeling, in the same way as any objective documentation.
This comes up on Mental Health Nursing Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
