At admission, the nurse learns that some time ago the client had an infarct in the right motor cor-tex. During assessment, the nurse would expect to find that:
 
  1. Motor activity on the right side of the body is impaired
  2. Motor activity on the left side of the body is impaired
  3. The client has impaired reasoning and planning skills

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The motor cortex controls voluntary motor activity. However, decussation occurs at the intersec-tion of the medulla and spinal cord, explaining why the right motor cortex actually controls vol-untary motor activity on the left side of the body. 3. These functions are attributed to the associ-ation cortex. 4. Broca's area controls motor speech.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Hypothyroidism and Parkinson's disease have been correlated with depression. The other mental health disorders in options 2, 3, and 4 have not been connected.
