  • This article is the second of a two-part series on assessing behavioral health in adult and elderly home care patients using OASIS.

This article presents the assessment of cognitive impairment, problematic behaviors, and anxiety using OASIS as a framework and stresses the importance of direct questioning. Case scenarios and guidelines for referral for further evaluation and possible treatment are provided.
