Amy, what's the context of this statement?

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.

#2 associated with poor B

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.

Looks like a typo to me, too.

And btw, as far as I know, it's perfectly fine to copy practice questions on this forum - it's only actual official questions off your own nclex exam that you may not repeat word-for-word anywhere ...

I'd ignore this and go on ...

I must interject, it is NOT o.k. to copy practice questions and paste on this BB. It is against copyright laws.

Do not post practice questions.

Thank you.
