Final answer:

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is used to assess consciousness with scores ranging from 3 to 15, based on eye, verbal, and motor responses. An exact score requires a clinical assessment and cannot be provided without specific details.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a clinical tool used to assess a person's level of consciousness after a brain injury. The GCS measures three aspects of behavior: eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. The total score ranges from 3, indicating deep unconsciousness, to 15, the score for a fully alert person. To give an accurate GCS score for a client at 0200, one would need the results from a clinical assessment considering these three behaviors.

The possible GCS score provided in the choices is 3, 13, and 15. Option d) 62/min appears to be a typographical error and is irrelevant to the GCS. Therefore, without additional context or assessment details, an exact score of options a) 3, b) 13, or c) 15 cannot be determined as correct.
