Hello
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about MMSE tests in terms of how much prompting the CPN (or whoever) gives the person with AD. My mum had a test recently and the score was good. However, I was surprised as in the last few months she seems to have deteriorated noticeably. I know we cannot attach too much weight to the tests as there are other factors involved, but I was quite surprised she scored so well (and pleased, of course!).
Anyone else any thoughts on this? Or, maybe similar experience where test seemed high compared to reasoning/mental ability of person tested?
Thank you!
