Abstract
Physical assessment for nursing purposes is necessarily different from that of medicine because the focus of nursing is to diagnose and treat human responses to disease rather than the disease itself. Nursing assessment pathophysiology, implications for daily living, and nursing interventions for selected functional aspects of mentation, namely language, remembering, and performing learned movements, are presented in this article.Keywords
