Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Clients with auditory aphasia have lost the ability to understand the symbolic content associated with sounds.
Rationale 2: This is the same as auditory aphasia.
Rationale 3: Sensory or receptive aphasia is the loss of the ability to comprehend written or spoken words.
Rationale 4: Motor or expressive aphasia involves loss of the power to express oneself by writing, making signs, or speaking. Clients may find that even though they can recall words, they have lost the ability to combine speech sounds into words.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The Glasgow Coma Scale was originally developed to predict recovery from a head injury; however, it is used by many professionals to assess locus of control (LOC). It tests in three major areas: eye response, motor response, and verbal response.
