Medical-Surgical II (MSII) Neuro 1 Practice Test

On the Glasgow Coma Scale, a verbal response score of 5 indicates the patient is...

Disoriented to person Incomprehensible sounds Oriented to person, place, and time Uses inappropriate words

Correct Answer:

Oriented to person, place, and time

Explanation:

A verbal score of five means the patient is fully oriented. They can speak coherently and correctly answer questions about who they are, where they are, and the current time or situation. For example, they might say, "I'm Maria, I'm in the hospital, it's Tuesday." If they were not oriented or could only speak inappropriately or incomprehensibly, the verbal score would be lower.
