Ask the patient to answer the following questions once every 24 hours:

Westmead PTA Scale

1. How old are you ?
2. What is your date of birth ?
3. What month are we in ?
4. What time of day is it ? (Morning, Afternoon or Night)
5. What day of the week is it ?
6. What year are we in ?
7. What is the name of this place ?
8. Who do you have to remember ? (Show set of 3 photos)
9. What is their name ?
10. What were the 3 pictures that you had to remember ?
    • Picture I
    • Picture II
    • Picture III

Record each answer and score 0 or 1 on the MR-120 Form. After each question tell the patient whether they were right or wrong and correct any incorrect answers. Sum the individual scores to give a total score out of 12. If the patient scores 12 out of 12, remember to show them a new set of picture cards to learn for tomorrow. Record these new cards in the appropriate area on the MR-120 Form. Finally, try not to discuss the questions with the patient until you test them again tomorrow.
