As with all of the ACLS activities, record the date and time of day because they frequently explain inconsistencies between different activities.
Introducing the Activity
Place the materials on the table in front of the person. Position your chair so that you can see their eyes if or when they look at the sample and count the time intervals between looking at the sample.
During the Activity
After you give the directions, do not give any further instructions.
Do not initiate by saying anything else or pointing to anything.
Do not repeat the instruction.
A direct question can be answered with a reassurance such as "you are doing fine."
Ending the Activity
The end of the activity is when the person stops colouring.
