A nursing assessment covers a psychological examination where intellectual and emotional health is considered as the main areas for evaluation. The assessment covers checking for delusions and hallucinations, evaluating cognitive functions and measuring levels of concentration. Inquiries about the hobbies of the client and his interests are part of the assessment regarding his intellectual health.
The emotional health of an individual is assessed through the observation and inquiries about the feeling of the client and how he responds to his feelings. The perceptions of the client as to the reasons for the nursing assessment and what they think they will gain from the psychological examination are also asked.
