The nurse is to perform a complete assessment of a client in her home, using the Mini-Mental State Examination as one component
When the nurse arrives, the client is seated at the table with her husband, the TV is on, and sev-eral grandchildren are visiting. The client's husband says, "Let's get on with this business." The client is quiet, but her hands are gripped tightly, and she is staring at the ceiling. The best action for the nurse to take would be to: 1. Explain to the husband that accurate data will be sought, and ask him to stay with the grandchildren in another room 2. Explain the importance of the testing process and make an appointment for an-other day when the environment can be better controlled 3. Not perform the test during the assessment (because it will not be valid) and rely on observations and reports from the family 4. Ask the husband to make an appointment to bring his wife to the clinic for testing
