Before moving through diagnostic decision making, a social
worker needs to conduct an interview that builds on a
biopsychosocial assessment. New parts are added that clarify
the timing, nature, and sequence of symptoms in the diagnostic
interview. The Mental Status Exam (MSE) is a part of that
process.
The MSE is designed to systematically help diagnosticians
recognize patterns or syndromes of a person’s cognitive
functioning. It includes very particular, direct observations
about affect and other signs of which the client might not be
directly aware.
When the diagnostic interview is complete, the diagnostician
has far more detail about the fluctuations and history of
symptoms the patient self-reports, along with the direct
observations of the MSE. This combination greatly improves
the chances of accurate diagnosis. Conducting the MSE and
other special diagnostic elements in a structured but client-
sensitive manner supports that goal. In this Assignment, you
take on the role of a social worker conducting an MSE.
To prepare:
Watch the video describing an MSE. Then watch the Sommers-
Flanagan (2014) “Mental Status Exam” video clip. Make sure
to take notes on the nine domains of the interview.
Review the Morrison (2014) reading on the elements of a
diagnostic interview.
Review the 9 Areas to evaluate for a Mental Status Exam and
example diagnostic summary write-up provided in this Week’s
resources.
Review the case example of a diagnostic summary write-up
provided in this Week’s resources.
Write up a Diagnostic Summary including the Mental Status
Exam for Carl based upon his interview with Dr. Sommers-
Flanagan.
By Day 7
Submit
a 2- to 3-page case presentation paper in which you complete
both parts outlined below:
Part I: Diagnostic Summary and MSE
Provide a diagnostic summary of the client, Carl. Within this
summary include:
Identifying Data/Client demographics
Chief complaint/Presenting Problem
Present illness
Past psychiatric illness
Substance use history
Past medical history
Family history
Mental Status Exam (Be professional and concise for all nine
areas)
Appearance
Behavior or psychomotor activity
Attitudes toward the interviewer or examiner
Affect and mood
Speech and thought
Perceptual disturbances
Orientation and consciousness
Memory and intelligence
Reliability, judgment, and insight
Part II: Analysis of MSE
After completing Part I of the Assignment, provide an analysis
and demonstrate critical thought (supported by references) in
your response to the following:
Identify any areas in your MSE that require follow-up data
collection.
Explain how using the cross-cutting measure would add to the
information gathered.
Do Carl’s answers add to your ability to diagnose him in any
specific way? Why or why not?
Would you discuss a possible diagnosis with Carl at time point
in time? Why?
Support Part II with citations/references. The DSM 5 and case
study
do not
need to be cited. Utilize the other course readings to support
your response.
