NIH Stroke Scale UPDATED Exam Questions And Correct Answers
How to assess Level of Consciousness?1a. Deteremine if patient is alert, oriented x4 1b. The patient is asked the month and his/her age. The answer must be correct - there is no partial credit for being close. Aphasic and stuporous patients who do not comprehend the questions will score 2. It is important that only the initial answer be graded and that the examiner not "help" the patient with verbal or non-verbal cue. 1c. The patient is asked to open and close the eyes and then to grip and release the non-paretic hand. If the patient does not respond to command, the task should be demonstrated to him or her (pantomime), and the result scored (i.e., follows none, one or two commands)
