What does the Mental Status Examination assess concerning speech?

  1. Vocabulary size

  2. Speed and coherence

  3. Slurred, pressured, slow, flat tone

  4. Accent and language fluency

The correct answer is: Slurred, pressured, slow, flat tone

The Mental Status Examination, commonly used in psychiatric and medical exams, assesses the overall mental state of an individual, including their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Specifically, it evaluates their speech for signs of abnormalities or impairments. Options A, B, and D do not directly address this purpose and are therefore incorrect. While vocabulary size and language fluency may factor into the overall assessment of speech, the main focus of the examination is on detecting any slurred, pressured, slow, or flat tone patterns that may indicate underlying mental health issues.
