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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Impaired voluntary cough. Impaired voluntary cough post-stroke can indicate swallowing difficulties, posing a risk of aspiration pneumonia. Referral to speech-language pathology is essential for swallowing evaluation and management. Unilateral ptosis (
A) may indicate nerve damage but does not directly relate to speech. Altered level of consciousness (
B) requires immediate medical attention, not speech therapy. Diminished hand-to-mouth coordination (
C) may suggest motor deficits but doesn't specifically require speech therapy. Other choices are not provided.
