In most hospitals, patient conditions are generally reported by nurses in each unit once a day (usually at midnight or 7 a.m.) based on information on the patient's chart, the care and observation of the patient over the last 24 hours and consultation with the physician.
There are a variety of individually administered IQ tests in use in the English-speaking world. The most commonly used individual IQ test series is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale for adults and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children for school-age test-takers.
If the child was significantly smarter than a normal child of his or her age, the child was given a higher score, and if the child scored lower than expected for a child of his or her age, the child was given a lower IQ score. Today IQ testing is used not primarily for children, but for adults. Today we attempt to write tests that will determine an adult's true mental potential, unbiased by culture, and compare scores to the scores of other adults who have taken the same test.
