Monitoring progress is when you work on the procedures needed for reorganization and observation of the changed behavior. Following up provides the information needed to know if the behavior change results from the intervention continued to create endurance even in other settings and times. The two phases I choose are screening and monitoring evaluation . During the screening process the behavior analyst is to assess the client and to determine if further services are necessary to address behavioral problems (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2007).

The nurse shall then prepare the patient for any diagnostic tests, contact family, make sure pain is under control, monitor and document their findings (Laskowski – Jones, 2006, p.54).

INTRODUCTION A mental status examination (MSE) is an assessment of a patient's level of cognitive (knowledge-related) ability, appearance, emotional mood, and speech and thought patterns at the time of evaluation. It is one part of a full neurologic (nervous system) examination and includes the examiner's observations about the patient's attitude and cooperativeness as well as the patient's answers to specific questions. Not only is it important for describing the “state” of the patient, it is an important tool that can help substantiate a diagnosis, convey information to another provider, and assist in determining most appropriate step in treatment. Unlike mental status examination, psychosocial assessment is an evaluation of a patient’s mental, physical, and emotional health. It takes into account not only the physical health of the patient, but also the patient’s perception of self and his or her ability to function in the community.
