Question

A client who has had a stroke with left-sided hemiparesis has been referred to a rehabilitation center. The client asks, "Why do I need rehabilitation?" How does the nurse respond?

A.Rehabilitation will reverse any physical deficits caused by the stroke.
B.Rehabilitation will help you function at the highest level possible.
C.If you do not have rehabilitation, you may never walk again.
D.Your doctor knows best and has ordered this treatment for you.

Answer 1

Rehabilitation will help you function at the highest level possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse would respond to the client by saying: Rehabilitation will help you function at the highest level possible.

After a stroke, the part of the brain that is damaged loses its ability to function normally. This can result in physical deficits such as difficulty moving, feeling, or seeing on one side of the body. Rehabilitation, which includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy, can help the client relearn or regain these lost functions to the best of their ability.
