The nurse learns in report that a client is stuporous. Which assessment should the nurse perform to confirm this report?

A. Romberg sign tests for balance, not responsiveness to stimuli. B. Facial asymmetry may suggest a neurological issue, but it is not directly related to stupor. C. Checking the pupillary response to light is important but does not specifically assess the level of consciousness or stupor. D. Stupor is characterized by a state of near-unconsciousness, where the client is unresponsive to verbal stimuli but may respond to physical stimuli. Assessing the response to stimuli is the best way to confirm this condition.
