Explanation:

The first steps to check in a patient's mental examination is the level of consciousness, so the initial assessment includes asking to the patient if is oriented in person, time and place, if the patient responds correctly means it understands and that to this point there is not cortical damage and that is able to follow commands, that means the patient understands and that there is no damage at cortical level. When we ask the patient to follow commands and the patient responds we double check that the patient can indeed understand and interpret correctly an order, if the patient can move means there is no motor damage and we can proceed with the rest of the examination.

if your boyfriend is cheating on you, my best advice to you is to dump him, he's only going to drag you down. and if you do, don't fret there's plenty better that know how to treat a person right. i mean honestly, the whole point of a romantic relationship is love, and if you love someone you aren't going to cheat on them. i do believe in second chances, but why would he cheat in the first place? i personally feel that if someone cheats, they ruin any chance they wanted/had with you. i wish you the best of luck with this, hang in there.
