Study Notes
Patient 1
- Fully alert with a score of 0.
- Incorrect responses to two questions, scoring 2 for comprehension.
- Performs one task correctly, scoring 1 for performance.
- Overall neurological examination reflects severe impairment with a score of 2 on the NIHSS scale for consciousness and a total score of 11.
Patient 2
- Alert and fully oriented, scoring 0 on all tasks.
- No visual loss or abnormalities in movement, indicating normal functionality.
- Displays mild sensory loss in one limb, scoring 1, but overall shows no motor drift or paralysis, contributing to a total score of 3.
Patient 3
- Alert with a score of 0 and accurately answers questions.
- Exhibits a minor level of paralysis, scoring 1; otherwise, mobility is intact.
- Sensory loss noted as mild to moderate, with a total NIHSS score of 4.
Patient 4
- Remains alert and correctly answers questions.
- Displays minor paralysis, with drift present in both arms but not hitting the bed, scoring 1 for arm movement.
- Sensory assessment reveals mild to moderate loss while maintaining a total score of 4.
Patient 5
- Not fully alert but arousable, scoring 1 for consciousness.
- Displays partial gaze palsy, indicating some neurological impairment.
- Multiple limbs affected, with significant drift noted, resulting in a higher total score of 10 due to combined sensory and motor deficits.
Patient 6
- Fully alert, scoring 0 for consciousness evaluation.
- Responses indicate some impairments, shown by a score of 1 for correct answers.
- Exhibits mild to moderate dysarthria, while limb movement shows mild drift, contributing to a total score of 3.
