The nurse documents that a client is exhibiting agnosia when the client is unable to

A. open juice and insert a straw into the container: This describes apraxia, which is the inability to carry out purposeful motor activities despite having intact motor function. It is not a problem of recognition but of motor planning. B. identify a picture of a car: Agnosia is the inability to recognize or identify objects, people, or sounds despite intact sensory function. The client’s inability to recognize a familiar object like a car fits this definition. C. button a blouse: This reflects apraxia as well, where the client has difficulty performing skilled movements or tasks despite understanding the request and having physical ability. It is not a recognition deficit. D. find words to describe the client's daughter's appearance: This is an example of aphasia, specifically expressive aphasia, where the client struggles to produce language. It is not related to the recognition deficits seen in agnosia.
