Q

define the levels in the rancho los amigos scale

A

1 - no repsonse
2 - generalized response
3 - localized repsonse; reacts to sitmuli inconsistently
4 - confused/agitated - heightened state of activity with severely decreased ability to process information
5 - confused, inappropriate nonagitated; appears alert with faily consisten reactions, although increased complexity of ommands causes more random responses
6 - confused, apprpriate; exhibits goal-directed behavior byut is dependent on external input for direction
7 - automatic/approrpaite - behaves appropriately and ir oriented to place and routine byut frequently displays shallow recall
8-10 - purposeful and approrpiate- isalert and oritented and able to recall and itegrate past and recent events.
