The document provides guidance for nurses on conducting a general survey and mental status exam of a patient. It describes examining the patient's general appearance, positioning them properly, assessing their mental status, and evaluating their posture. The nurse is instructed to observe the patient's appearance, hygiene, nutrition, and any abnormalities. They should then position the patient comfortably and respectfully for the exam. Key aspects of mental status to evaluate include the patient's orientation, mood, affect, and thought process. Posture should also be assessed for any abnormalities or issues.
