The nurse finds that Mr. Rider is unresponsive to verbal stimuli, and responds to painful stimuli by abnormally flexing his extremities (decorticate movement). He has no verbal response. The right pupil is larger than the left, and it does not respond to light.
Based on these new findings what is Mr. Riders new GCS?
GCS (Glasgow coma scale) is used to measure the conscious level of a person with different types of brain injury. The scale has 3 elements 1. motor response (M), 2. verbal response (V), and 2. eye response (E) to different kinds of stimuli. the score is ranging from 3 to 15, where 3 is a comatose state and 15 is a normal response.
In this case
Mr. Riderresponds to painful stimuli by abnormally flexing his extremities (decorticate movement). It means his motor response is 3.( M = 3)
Mr. Rider is unresponsive to verbal stimuli and He has no verbal response. It means his verbal response is 1. (V = 1)
He is only response to pain full stimuli by abnormally flexing his extremities means there is no eye-opening to pain full stimuli also. (E = 1)
So, GCS of Mr. rider is E1V1M3 = 5
The nurse finds that Mr. Rider is unresponsive to verbal stimuli, and responds to painful stimuli...
6. What is J.R.'s GCS score at this time? Indicate what this means. You find that J.R. has become unresponsive to verbal stimuli and responds to painful stimuli by abnormally flexing his extremities (decorticate movement). He has no verbal response. The right pupil is larger than the left and does not respond to light.
1. A nurse is assessing a client with a brain injury using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The client does not open their eyes, makes no sounds, and makes no movements. How would the nurse score the client using the GCS? a.6 b. 16 c. 3 d. 5 2. A client is fully awake, knows the date, who they are, and where they are. Which charting statement would most accurately reflect this assessment? a. Alert;...
Melvin Strong, a 19-year-old patient, presents to the emergency department after being ejected from an automobile. He has a back board with a cervical collar in place. The EMT stated that when he saw the patient, the patient was unconscious but quickly gained consciousness and was oriented ×3, talking, and able to move all four extremities. Within 5 minutes, the patient became unable to be aroused, opened his eyes only to painful stimuli, made incomprehensible sounds, and withdrew from pain....
