Total score: /8
For each category of activity, a level is selected corresponding to the activities performed by the patient, and a score is awarded 0 or 1.
The overall result can vary from 0 points (dependent on outside help, needs significant help when performing instrumental functional activity) to 8 points (independent of outside help). 3 points — without outside help; 2 points — with partial help

Mini Cog Test
Ask the patient to repeat after you and remember three words: Lemon, Key, Ball
Ask the patient to draw a round clock face, arrange all the numbers and place all the hands so that the clock shows 11 hours 10 minutes.
Ask the patient to reproduce the words after completing the clock drawing test.
Interpretation:
Memorization of words. The patient receives one point for each word repeated without a prompt (total 0–3 points).
Clock drawing: the test result can be from 0 to 2 points: 1 point all the numbers are arranged in the correct order and approximately in the place they occupy on the dial, 1 point the arrows indicate the correct time; the length of the hands (hour, minute) is not evaluated. Inability or refusal to draw a clock 0 points).
The overall result is the sum of the results of the two tasks Memorizing words and Drawing a clock and ranges from 0 to 5 points. If less than 3 points are scored, this is the basis for suggesting dementia. A result of less than 4 points indicates the need for a deeper examination of cognitive functions.
Explanations: the implementation of this technique allows you to quickly assess the presence of undoubted cognitive impairment. May not be sufficiently sensitive to non-demented cognitive disorders.
In addition, if the patient reproduced all the words, there is no dementia. If the patient cannot reproduce the words, there is reason to suspect dementia. If the patient reproduced the words partially, you should refer to the result of the test with a clock. If the drawing of the clock is disturbed, the doctor makes a provisional diagnosis of dementia. If the arrows are drawn correctly, there is no dementia.
It is important to pay attention to the condition of the patient's vision if the vision is poor, the result may be false positive.

Diagnosis of delirium CAMP test
1
Sharpness and undulation of changes in mental status Are there changes in mental status from baseline? OR Has there been a fluctuating change in mental status in the past 24 hours?
If the answer to both questions
is “no”, then
DELIRIUM is NO If the answer to one of the questions is “yes”, then 4.2
2
Attention disorder: Squeeze my hand every time I say the letter A Read the following sequence of letters L A M P A A L A D I N A ERRORS: does not compress on the letter A and compresses on other letters
If 0–2 errors, then there is NO DELIRIA If more than 2 errors, then
4.3

Changes in the level of consciousness The level of consciousness at the current moment (according to RASS) See Appendix No. 1
If RASS is different from 0, then DELIRIUS EXISTS If RASS = 0, then

Disorganized thinking: Will the stone float on water? Do fish live in the sea? Does one kilogram weigh more than two? Can a hammer hammer a nail?
Command: “show how many fingers” (show 2 fingers) “Now do the same with the other hand” (do not demonstrate) OR “Add another finger” (if the patient cannot move both
hands)
If more than 2 errors, then DELIRIUM IS If 0–1 error then no delirium
CONCLUSION: DELIRIUM/no delirium

of the scale and
the level of need
for social services
Group Description
0.5–1.5 points Group A
Brings together people who need limited assistance with personal hygiene, food preparation and cleaning. Most often, people from this category have partially lost the ability to self-service, they need little help to meet certain vital needs, assistance in cleaning hard-to-reach places, assistance in hanging clean linen.
149
The final score
for parts 1 and 2
of the scale and
the level of need
for social services
Group Description
Cognitive functions in this category of people are not impaired. The health of these people is in a stable state, controlled by drug therapy. Most likely, they do not require frequent hospitalizations, but require dispensary observation. The level corresponds topre-frail older adults, maybe single geriatric syndromes (such as sensory deficits that do not lead to drastic restrictions on their functional status).
2–4 points Group B
The ability to self-care is reduced. People from this group, who need help in moving around the house, use technical means of rehabilitation. Need help with dressing and personal hygiene need partial help with bathing; It is possible to perform only partial cleaning within the
reach of a person’s hand, help is needed to maintain living
conditions. Assistance with food preparation is often needed. Cognitive functions in this category of people are not impaired.
4.5–7.0 Group C
It unites people who have partially lost the ability to self­service, due to a health disorder with a persistent pronounced disorder of body functions due to diseases, the consequences of injuries or defects, leading to a pronounced limitation of one of the categories of life activity or a combination of them, but most often retained mental independence. People in this group who need help daily and repeatedly to perform activities of daily life (assistance with mobility, accompaniment outside the home, assistance with getting up, significant help with bathing and dressing). Significant assistance is needed in cleaning, washing, cooking hot meals. Need supervision/assistance with medication
7.5–9 points Group D
People of this group are not capable of self-service and performing instrumental everyday activities without outside help, often chained to a bed or chair, while their mental

Group Description
functions are not completely impaired, they need help in various activities in everyday life. This group may include persons whose mental functions are severely impaired, while they retained the ability to move. In both cases, the degree of a person's dependence on outside help leads to a pronounced limitation of one of the categories of life activity or a combination of them. The degree of functionality corresponds to 1–2 disability groups. Significant assistance needed with self-care with assistive devices and/or assistance from others: dressing/bathing/eating/water intake/management of medications/assistance with personal care products/moving around the house/handling and caring for compensatory medical supplies devices The ability to orientate in time and space is often impaired, requiring the help of others; It is necessary to maintain the ability to communicate and the ability to control one's behavior.
9.5 points or more Group E
People from this group are chained to a bed or an armchair, their mental functions are severely impaired, and they need the constant presence of helpers. People from this group may be mentally healthy, but need palliative care and constant care. The degree of functionality corresponds to disability group 1 with a persistent, significantly pronounced disorder of body functions
