The patient presents with a recent diagnosis of apraxia. What is apraxia?
The inability to carry out a skilled movement despite having the physical ability to do so
The inability to speak without slurring words related to parietal lobe damage
Lack of insight that one has a disability related to a previous CVA
Gait abnormality secondary to cerebral degeneration - answ✔💜💜✔-With apraxia, one cannot
