Learning Outcomes:

It is expected that you will develop a sense of your ability to observe client behaviour and accurately document those observations as findings on the Mental Status Examination (MSE) and risk screening tool in the correct assessment categories using correct terminology.

Students will also develop patient-focused documentation skills in reporting the identified MSE and risk assessment findings concisely and accurately within the nursing report.

From your findings, it is also expected that students will be able to identify symptoms pertaining to the client and consequently be able to develop mental health nursing specific interventions to assist the client.
