Scoring Criterion

The person is able to respond to visual / auditory cues but is unable to track the cues.

A hearing problem is an unlikely cause for not tracking because they could hear the same sound well enough to respond before.

A visual problem is an unlikely cause for not tracking because they could compensate by listening.

Fatigue is however, a possibility and you can check by starting your next visit with moving to the same sound.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 1.2.

Scoring Criterion

No response to any of these cues suggests ACL 1.0 because the selections have the highest probability of stimulating a response for most people and both auditory and visual cues were given. Three cues in one minute are not enough to confirm anything about ability to function.

The confounding factors are unknown and severe visual or auditory impairments, unknown names and fragile medical conditions that affect their ability to pay attention. Repeating these attempts to stimulate a response is necessary.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 1.0.

ACL 1 Low: Sense of Positive & Negative Sensations

Bold strong sensory cues are what captures the person's attention when they are functioning in ACL 1 Low. A sense of comfort or the absence of strong negative cues is also appreciated by the person. When the person is relaxed and resting comfortably, we know that we are caring for them.

Providing positive sensory stimulation rather than only experiencing painful medical necessities will let them know that living is still worthwhile. Educating family members on what they can still do lets them still interact with the person in a meaningful way.
