Understand the basic function of the occipital lobe: It is primarily responsible for processing visual information.
Recognize that each hemisphere of the brain processes visual information from the opposite visual field. This means the right visual field is processed by the left occipital lobe.
Identify that a tumor affecting the right visual field would likely impact the left occipital lobe, as it is responsible for processing visual input from the right visual field.
Consider the options given: Right frontal lobe, Left frontal lobe, Left occipital lobe, Right occipital lobe.
Conclude that the left occipital lobe is the most likely location of the tumor, as it aligns with the processing of the right visual field.
