Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has a score of 6 on the Glasgow Coma Scale. The nurse should expect which of the following outcomes based on this score?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The client needs total nursing care is the expected outcome for a client who has a score of 6 on the Glasgow Coma Scale, which is a tool that measures the level of consciousness based on eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. A score of 6 indicates severe brain injury and coma, meaning that the client is unresponsive and dependent on others for all activities of daily living. Indicates stable neurologic status is not the expected outcome for a client who has a score of 6 on the Glasgow Coma Scale, which indicates severe brain injury and coma. A stable neurologic status means that there are no changes in the level of consciousness, vital signs, or neurological signs. The client has a decline in level of consciousness but is able to protect his airway is not the expected outcome for a client who has a score of 6 on the Glasgow Coma Scale, which indicates severe brain injury and coma. A decline in level of consciousness means that the client is less alert and responsive than normal, but still able to respond to stimuli and maintain airway patency. The client is alert and oriented is not the expected outcome for a client who has a score of 6 on the Glasgow Coma Scale, which indicates severe brain injury and coma. Alert and oriented means that the client is fully awake and aware of person, place, time, and situation.
