Some observations about two versions of mental status examinations: implications for screening dementia patients in nursing homes

Adam T Zimmer et al. Percept Mot Skills. 2010 Apr.

Qualitative analysis of item content conducted on two versions of mental status examinations indicated that the Modified Mini-Mental State examination is a more pragmatic screening device to use not only for early detection of dementia but also as a basis for developing individualized care planning objectives for managing cognitive impairment of residents with dementia in nursing homes.
