Glad you found the video helpful Grace T. You can watch the mental state exam video. Here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MZ6sH15bzTY.html
Great video! Questions for osce stations/paces/practical exams - in some stations you would talk the examiner through what steps you're doing, for example a cardiac exam ("i'm inspecting the skin for any changes, scars, thinning, hairs, varicose veins etc). How would you recommend doing this in a psych history in an exam setting, and demonstrating to the examiner you're assessing and looking for various things?
It's vital to read the instructions carefully. One may comment about patient's appearance, behaviour and so on during the examination if asked to talk through Mental State Exam. However, if one is asked to perform a MSE and present findings to the examiner it's preferable to discuss the findings with the examiner at the end.
