Long-Term Care Nursing Advisor, March 7, 2008

To accurately assess level of consciousness and orientation, you should:

  • assess the quality of the verbal response
  • evaluate the resident's abillity to follow directions
  • try painful stimuli if the resident does not respond to verbal stimuli
