Question

After assessing a patient with a cerebrovascular disorder, a nurse anticipates that he had a stroke in the right cerebral hemisphere. Which finding supports the nurse's anticipation?Slurring of speech Right-sided weakness Left-sided facial droop Loss of sensation of right hand Difficulty breathing

Answer 1

The finding that suggests to the nurse that the lesion is in the right cerebral hemisphere is the Left-sided facial droop

Step-by-step explanation:

At the level of the spinal bulb there is a point that is known as the decussation of the pyramid, where 80% of the axons that come from the right side of the brain intersect to the left side, and those that come from the left side, intersect to the right side, so the movements of one side of the body are controlled by the opposite side of the brain.
