While performing a neurological examination in a client who was diagnosed with a stroke, a nurse finds that the client does not answer the birth month and age correctly but opens and closes both eyes correctly.

Based on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), what total score should the nurse obtain from these findings? Record your answer as a whole number. ____________________
