How to use this module
This module supplies communication-ability assessment and the skilled language that proves it required a licensed nurse — speech and language, functional hearing and vision for care, health literacy, and the accommodations that make teaching and consent valid. The hearing examination lives in Ears / Hearing, the vision examination in Eyes / Vision, the aphasia and dysarthria neurologic basis in Neurological, and cognitive-communication in Cognitive / Mental Status. Because communication underlies every teaching and consent interaction, this assessment shapes the entire plan. Each narrative is a structured example to be edited to the actual visit.
