It is expected that as a student you will develop an ability to observe consumer behaviour and accurately document those observations as findings on the Mental Status Examination (MSE) and risk screening tool in the correct assessment categories using the correct terminology. You 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 you will be able to identify symptoms about the client and consequently be able to develop mental health nursing-specific interventions to assist the client.
