1. Level of Consciousness (LOC)
• How to assess Level of Consciousness?
• 1a. Determine if the patient is alert, keenly responsive.
• 1b. The patient is asked the month and his/her age. The answer must
be correct - there is no partial credit for being close. Aphasic and
stuporous patients who do not comprehend the questions will score
2. It is important that only the initial answer be graded and that the
examiner not "help" the patient with verbal or non-verbal cues.
• 1c. The patient is asked to open and close the eyes and then to grip
and release the non-paretic hand. If the patient does not respond to
command, the task should be demonstrated to him or her
(pantomime), and the result scored (i.e., follows none, one or two
commands).
• What are the results? (Scoring)
• 1a (Alertness):
• 0 = Alert; keenly responsive.
• 1 = Not alert; but arousable by minor stimulation to attend,
follow commands, or answer questions.
