#1
A27 year-old man is brought into the ER after a 27 year-old man is brought into the ER after a bicycling accident.
Acar door suddenly opened in front of him, of which he smashed
into and was thrown 15 feet. On examination, he is drowsy and
confused. He opens his eyes when his name is called. He mumbles
words that you understand but the sentences do not make sense.
He moves all four limbs but does not respond to any commands.
He is able to pull both hands away when pinched and squirms
when his sternum is rubbed, making no effort to stop you. What is
his Glasgow COMA Scale score?
a) 10
b) 11
c) 9
d) 8
e) 7
