AIMS Assessment for Patients With Diverse Needs

Explanation: Dr O'Brien recommends documenting patients' involuntary movements during normal behavior if a formal examination is difficult, and he notes that patient anxiety and agitation can interfere with a controlled AIMS assessment.

He does not state that unusual circumstances cannot be documented in an AIMS assessment. Instead, he notes that an AIMS score may be documented with an asterisk to denote unusual circumstances.

Explanation based on Dr Chris O'Brien's real-world clinical experience.
