Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a rehabilitation unit is assessing a group of clients who have a traumatic brain injury. The nurse should identify that which of the following clients requires a priority referral?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A client who has expressive aphasia. This client requires a priority referral because expressive aphasia can significantly impact communication, leading to frustration, isolation, and hindrance in receiving appropriate care. Referral to a speech therapist is crucial to assess and implement strategies to improve communication.
A: A client needing assistance when ambulating is important but does not require immediate referral unless safety is compromised.
B: Difficulty using utensils while eating can be addressed by occupational therapy, but it is not as urgent as addressing communication deficits in expressive aphasia.
D: Consistent coughing after drinking liquids may indicate a swallowing issue, which is important but not as urgent as addressing communication deficits.
