Question 1 of 5
A nurse at a rehabilitation center is planning care for a client who had a left hemispheric cerebrovascular accident (CVA) 3 weeks ago. Which of the following goals should the nurse include in the client's rehabilitation program?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Establish the ability to communicate effectively. For a client who had a left hemispheric CVA, the left hemisphere is responsible for language and speech functions.
Therefore, focusing on establishing effective communication is crucial in the rehabilitation program. It targets the specific deficits caused by the CVA and aims to improve the client's quality of life. Increasing mobility to a normal level (
B) is important but may not be the priority in this case. Promoting independent living without assistance (
C) is a broad goal that may encompass various aspects beyond communication. Restoring full visual function (
D) is not directly related to a left hemispheric CVA.
