When assessing a preschooler who has sustained a head trauma, the nurse notes that the child appears to be obtunded. Which of the following denotes the child's level of consciousness
A．No motor or verbal response to noxious (painful) stimuli.
B．Remains in a deep sleep; responsive only to vigorous and repeated stimulation.
C．Can be aroused with stimulation.
D．Limited spontaneous movement; sluggish speech.
参考答案：C
解析：The child is obtunded if he can be aroused with stimulation. If the child shows no motor or verbal response to noxious stimuli, he's comatose. If the child remains in a deep sleep and is responsive only to vigorous and repeated stimulation, he's stuporous. If the child has limited spontaneous movement and sluggish speech, he's lethargic.
