Multiple Choice

Which Glasgow Coma Scale score indicates that a patient is in a deep coma?

Previous problemNext problem

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS): It is a neurological scale intended to assess a patient's level of consciousness after a brain injury. The scale ranges from 3 to 15, with 3 being the lowest score indicating deep coma or brain death, and 15 being the highest score indicating full consciousness.

Identify the components of the GCS: The scale is divided into three components: Eye Opening (E), Verbal Response (V), and Motor Response (M). Each component has its own scoring criteria.

Calculate the total GCS score: Add the scores from each of the three components (E + V + M) to get the total GCS score. The minimum score is 3 (indicating deep coma), and the maximum score is 15 (indicating full consciousness).

Interpret the scores: A score of 3-8 is generally considered to indicate a severe brain injury or deep coma. A score of 9-12 indicates a moderate brain injury, and a score of 13-15 indicates a mild brain injury or full consciousness.

Determine the correct answer: Based on the understanding of the GCS, a score of 3 indicates that a patient is in a deep coma.
