German term or phrase: zur Zeit nicht, zu den anderen Qualitäten voll orientiert
Teil eines Krankenhausberichts.

Psychopathologischer Befund: Wach, bewussseinsklare Patientin. Zur Zeit nicht, zu den anderen
Qualitäten voll orientiert. Die Patientin wirkte unruhig, logorrhöisch, distanzgemindert, gereizt. Vom
Affekt her gesteigert. Affektiv schwingungsfähig.

Was ist mit Qualitaeten gemeint. Ich verstehe da den Sinn nicht ganz.

Vielen Dank.

Explanation:
... something to this effect, I should think.
The sentences are not complete, but I think "Qualitaeten" here means "aspects" of the surroundings. Hence, the patient fully understands the aspects of her surroundings, other than time. I'd say "orientiert " here can also mean "adjusted". hence:

Not (completely) aware of time, but fully adjusted to other aspects of her surroundings.

I hope that helps.

agree  matmcv (X): 'Aware'. 'Oriented' not idiomatic in English, implies spatial or doctrinal context. Besides 'aspects (of her surroundings)' Qualitäten could be 'circumstances' or 'aspects of her situation'.
