Manual for the Allen Cognitive Level Screen-5 with ACLS and Standard LACLS Tools
When determining a patient's ability to work and think independently and learn basic skills using this leather sewing square can be more effective than asking questions and trying to decipher what help the patient truly needs. The Allen Cognitive Level Screen is simple and rewarding for patients. Visual impairment often accompanies aging patients that also suffer from Dementia and Alzheimers, so having both the standard sized test and the large size test is essential. It is vital to know if someone cannot pass the test due to actual lack of ability or if they simply cannot work with the standard size test.
The in depth knowledge that this manual provides enables proper administration of the Allen Cognitive test. Having resources and references to past studies will help healthcare professionals and their patients have more trust in the Allen Cognitive test, which will ensure the best outcome for all.
This kit is perfect for beginners to have everything they need easily on hand for every type of patient.
