Poor B with global aphasia??????? says the client will have "poor B".....yikes I have no idea what that is! help...LOL

[crb613]

Possibly something to do w/Broca area????....since its a complete loss of language function

[Elleann]

Amy, what's the context of this statement?

[AmyD_RN]

the nurse is planning care for a client with global aphasia and it list poor B and knowing that the clients speach will be associated with this. does that make sense? I dont want to list the questions word for word. if not I will try to explain again....... it doesnt' matter I still dont know what "poorB' is by itself.

[Elleann]

Sorry, I'm none the wiser either ... :-)

AmyD,
I hope this is not Saunders - I thought I had gone through all of them twice over but I never came across poor B's...

Can you give me the page number and I will try to look at it.

[AmyD_RN]

it is on the saunders cd. the nurse is planning care for a client with CVA who has global aphasia.......the nurse needs to incorporate communication strategies knowing that the clients speech will be...........................then it gives answers and the right one is :

#2 associated with poor B

there gives you an idea without copying the question...........now does anyone have a clue?

i think it's a typo

At first, I thought I was on to something. Thought that maybe it was referring to some kind of B vitamin deficiency (leaving the pt 'B-poor') that would cause global aphasia as one of the signs. Wernicke's encephalopathy or something along that line. But alas, it appears that global aphasia is not even on the list of signs for Wernicke's. I'm stumped too.
