NCLEX Questions on Neurological Disorders Quizlet Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client experiencing motor loss as a result of a left-sided cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Which clinical manifestation would the nurse document?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A left-sided CVA affects the right side of the body due to the brain's contralateral control. Paralysis or hemiparesis of the right side is a common manifestation, and ataxia (impaired coordination) may also occur. Hemiparesis of the left arm would indicate a right-sided CVA, visual deficits like homonymous hemianopsia are possible but less specific to motor loss, and behavioral changes are not directly related to motor deficits.
