The highly stressful environment of the ICU may lead to a loss of orientation to time and place.
This test consists of questions on orientation to time and place, registration, attention and calculation, recall, language, and visual construction to measure global cognitive functioning.
For others, avoiding chronotope disruption was, in contrast, premised on a nostalgic maintenance of their prediabetes orientation to time and space.
However, the MMSE provides a reliable measure of mental status, covering aspects of cognition (in particular, orientation to time and place) that were not measured by the other cognitive tests.
Insight into cultural differences can be gained by gaining knowledge about the following aspects: (1) relation to the environment, (2) relationships among people, (3) mode of human activity, (4) belief about basic human nature, (5) orientation to time, and (6) use of space.
Maneuvers to reduce the risk of delirium, including constant orientation to time and location and maintaining a normal sleep-wake cycle should always be performed in at-risk patients in the ICU.

An example of a direct translation is 'Orientation to time' and 'Orientering till tid' (literally 'Orientation to time') accompanying the ICF code b1140.
It tries to use the present tense for the immediacy that the present tense develops, but without allowing any verb tense to become befouled in a double orientation of time.
The fact that even for infinitely smooth x t), the right time-derivatives do not physically exist, due to the positive orientation of time, somehow escaped the attention of scientists.
