The nurse is caring for an older adult client who has recently had a stroke. The nurse assesses that the right side of the client's face is drooping. The nurse might also expect which of the following assessment findings?

A) refers to dry mouth and is not directly related to facial drooping. Epistaxis (
B) refers to nosebleeds and is not typically associated with facial drooping. Rhinorrhea (
