Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who had a stroke 2 days ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a need for a referral to speech-language pathology?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Impaired voluntary cough. Impaired voluntary cough in a client who had a stroke can indicate dysphagia, which is a common complication post-stroke. Referral to speech-language pathology is essential for assessing and managing dysphagia to prevent aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition. Diminished hand-to-mouth coordination (
A) may indicate motor deficits but does not directly relate to speech and swallowing. Unilateral ptosis (
C) is a drooping eyelid and is not typically a direct concern for speech-language pathology. Altered level of consciousness (
D) may indicate neurological issues but does not specifically warrant a referral to speech-language pathology.
