 When we assess the patient's orientation, we usually say the patient is A&O, alert, and oriented. Times 4 would be the maximum. And the four questions that we ask the patient is orientation to person, place, time, and event. So orientation to person, can you tell me your name? Orientation to time, what day of the week is it? What month is it? Do you know the date today? Those kind of questions. Please don't ask the patients any questions that you might not be able to answer yourself. And we know as nurses or nursing students, we are on a different schedule. So we might not be aware that it's a Sunday because we work on Sundays and most people don't. So that would be person and then the time. And then the place, you could just ask the patient, where are we located? If they look at you with a puzzled look on their face, you could always say, well, is this a hospital, a clinic, a church, a school building? What kind of building are we in? Most likely that'll help them out to answer that question if they are not quite understanding what you're asking them. And then assessing the patient's orientation to the event, a very easy question to ask would be what brings you to the hospital today or what is the reason for your visit or simply what happened? So then we take these four questions and we grade the patient by the number of responses that they achieved right, correct on their questions. And then they're either orientated times four, three, two, one or completely disoriented. So thanks for watching this video on patient orientation. Also check out my other videos where I go into more detail about the patient's neurologic status as well as the Glasgow Coma Scale. I'll put all those links in the description below. Thanks for watching.
