Q1.
A patient with a left hemispheric stroke is unable to follow any commands, but withdraws
to pain in all extremities. The patient makes incomprehensible sounds. What is the total
score for items 1c (Commands) and 9 (Language)?
A. 3 and 2 respectively B. 2 and 3 respectively
C. 3 and 3 respectively D. 2 and 2 respectively
Correct: C - 3 and 3 respectively
Rationale:Inability to perform any commands scores 2 for 1c, but if the patient is also
aphasic, the score is 3 (as per NIHSS instructions). Incomprehensible sounds score 2 for
language, but if the patient cannot follow commands due to aphasia, language is scored 3.
Thus both are 3.
Q2.
A patient with a right hemispheric stroke has left-sided visual neglect. During the visual
field testing, the examiner presents a threat from the left, and the patient blinks to threat
on the left. What score is given for item 3 (Visual Fields)?
A. 0 B. 1
C. 2 D. 3
Correct: A - 0
Rationale:Blinking to visual threat indicates intact visual fields even if the patient has neglect.
Neglect is not visual field loss. Therefore, visual fields are scored 0. If the patient did not blink
to threat, they would score 1 for partial hemianopia.
Q3.
A patient with a brainstem stroke presents with left gaze palsy and right hemiparesis. The
patient can adduct the right eye on attempted left gaze but cannot abduct the left eye.
What is the score for item 2 (Best Gaze)?
A. 0 B. 1
C. 2 D. 3
Correct: B - 1
