A 92-year-old patient has had a stroke. The right side of his face is drooping. The nurse might also suspect which of these assessment findings?

A. Dry mouth (xerostomia) may occur after a stroke, but it is not the most likely symptom when there is facial drooping, which suggests more significant swallowing and motor function issues. B. Rhinorrhea (runny nose) is not directly associated with a stroke and would not typically be expected in this scenario. C. Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) is a common finding in patients who have suffered a stroke, particularly when there is facial drooping or difficulty with facial muscle control. D. Nosebleeds are not directly linked to stroke symptoms and are unlikely to be caused by the facial drooping.
