Nursing Homes

Does anyone have a list of questions they ask when visiting patients in a nursing home setting to determine their awareness?

Here's a list that an attorney I know asks. However, I just engage the person in conversation about the weather and the room and people in the news and casually ask some questions here and there. It's a friendlier way, and I get less hostile responses and a good read on competence.

Attorney's List:
State your full name and date of birth.
What is your current age?
State your current complete address.
What is your marital status?
State the number of children you have and their complete names.
What is the current dat and date?
Who is the President of the USA?
What country are US soldiers currently fighting in, Iran or Iraq?

Darn, Gracie, I've got some drinkin' buddies who couldn't answer those last two questions you propose for nursing home residents.

Not my questions, Sir Hugh, those of an attorney I know. You know how attorneys are.
