Keep sentences short, professional and to the point. · In Part B the "formulation" section provides a summary of the information contained in the previous sub-sections. New information should not be placed in this section. If it is not in the body of a report it should not be in the formulation section. · Does the client need to be referred to a psychiatrist? Why? · Pay attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation. It is important to proof read your work before submission. · Writing style in a report is more formal than verbal speech. Try not to write as you would speak. · Use simple past tense to describe the patient's state at the time of the mental state examination.

For Part C you may use subheadin · Essentially PART A is a collation of findings we have discovered from the video and presented in essay format, not dot point. Are we to ONLY reference the video in this because we are not using another other sources? · Part B we are to use sub- headings of the MSE categories provided and state what evidence the video showed of these different sub headings, how many references are required for this part? · And Part C is where we identify treatment/ management, do we use sub headings here? · Are we also to use sub headings throughout, eg 'Part A' as a heading? Write nursing intervention in narrative format Use the different elements of the MSE as subcategories for Part B. For Part A, focus on presenting the patient history and not medical analysis. For example, instead of saying auditory hallucinations, you can just say Andy stated that he has been hearing voices for a certain time frame.
