You could assess your patient’s judgement by problem solving in a certain situation. You could ask them a question like “if you found fifty dollars on the ground at the mall, what would you do?” this is a simple question that would test the patient’s judgement in the moment. Lastly, I would assess my patient’s memory. This can be done in many ways, some would include a test and recall method. You could assess your patient’s ability to remember a list of words or pictures in a thirty-second period, and asked to recall as many as they can. This will test their short-term memory. You can test your patient’s long-term memory by asking them about their childhood or past events that have happened years ago. These are all the ways I would gather information about my patient in a mental status
