Physiological Integrity QID 984
A nurse is caring for a patient with a left-sided stroke. Which deficit is most commonly associated with this condition?
Explanation
A left-sided stroke typically results in right-sided weakness or paralysis due to the contralateral nature of the brain's control over the body. Speech and language issues are also common with left-sided strokes, but right-sided weakness is a more general and common deficit.
