Mini-Cog (3-Item Recall + Clock Draw)

Brief cognitive screen for primary care, ED, or pre-anesthesia evaluation, combining 3-item word recall with a clock-drawing task to flag patients needing fuller cognitive assessment.

(3 unrelated words named earlier, then recalled after the clock task delays attention)

(patient draws a clock face, places all 12 numbers, then sets hands to a specified time, e.g., 11:10)
