Comprehensive Mental Status Exam?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Comprehensive MSE. The pieces I usually don’t see are:
• Associations
• Language
Can you give examples of what might be listed for each of these to be able to count them? I want to make sure I’m not overlooking something.
Thank you.
 
Associations: flight of ideas, loose, tangential, circumstantial, intact - all of these generally followed by "associations"
Language: naming of objects, repeating phrases, interpretation of proverbs

Fortunately my providers are very good at using these kinds of phrases when documenting so it is clear what part of the MSE they are referencing.
