Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who had a stroke involving the left cerebral hemisphere. The nurse should monitor for which of the following findings?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intellectual impairment. A stroke involving the left cerebral hemisphere can result in damage to areas responsible for language and analytical thinking. This can manifest as intellectual impairment, such as difficulty with problem-solving, reasoning, and comprehension. Monitoring for this finding is crucial for assessing the client's cognitive function post-stroke. Impaired sense of humor (
A) and poor judgment (
B) are associated with frontal lobe damage, typically seen in strokes involving the right cerebral hemisphere. Loss of depth perception (
D) is more related to occipital lobe damage, which is not typically associated with left hemisphere strokes.
