Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to care for a client with dysfunctions in the lobe of the brain labeled as 'A'. The nurse would expect to observe abnormal assessment findings with the following:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Dysfunctions in the frontal lobe, labeled as 'A', affect executive functions such as organization of thought, body movement memories, emotions, and moral behavior. This is because the frontal lobe is responsible for higher cognitive functions and personality.
Choices A, C, and D do not align with the functions typically associated with the frontal lobe.
Choice A is more related to the temporal lobe, which is responsible for smell, hearing, memory, and emotional expression.
Choice C is linked to the left hemisphere, particularly Broca's area, responsible for language generation.
Choice D is more related to the parietal lobe, which is responsible for taste, touch, and spatial orientation.
Therefore, B is the correct answer as it best describes the expected abnormal assessment findings related to dysfunctions in the frontal lobe.
