CRIT3000 Complex Nursing Practice Skills Assessment - Curtin University

Learning Outcome 1: Use clinical knowledge and skills to conduct a comprehensive mental health and physical health assessment and plan care for a person with complex health-related issue in a clinical environment.

Introduction:
Write an introduction to the case study and state the focus of your assignment.

Question 1:

1a) Using information from the video, describe Bernadette's mental state by completing the following components of Mental State Examination (MSE).

a) Appearance
b) Mood and affect
c) Thought content
d) Cognition
e) Insight and judgement

Present your MSE section using the subheadings stated above. Please note that you must validate any specialised terminology you use. For example: The person (use the person's name) was agitated, as evidenced by appearing to be tense and easily irritated. DO NOT discuss background information in the MSE section. An MSE is a snapshot of occurrences at the time of the interview. The way the person is presented; the information they gave during the interview; the clinician's interpretation of the MSE constructs at the time of assessment. Remember most of the MSE constructs such as affect, mood etc. are dynamic and can rapidly change, that's why the MSE should be a snapshot of what happened or how the person is presented in the interview. *Please note: This question relates to a mental health assessment interview and therefore in-text citations should only be from the video clip. Other external references are not required.
