Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Because the patient with a left-sided brain stroke may also have difficulty with comprehension and use of language, so it is important to obtain baseline data about the ability to follow commands. This will impact on patient safety and nursing care. The visual fields are not typically affected by a left-sided stroke. Information about reflexes and emotional state will be collected but is not as high a priority as information about language abilities.
