A driver who has suffered a stroke in the last two years should have which of the following assessed in a neurological exam?
  1. Vision
  2. Concentration
  3. Cognitive abilities

Explanation
Answer: D - All of these

A driver who has suffered an embolic or thrombotic stroke is likely to experience residual intellectual impairment. The nature of commercial driving-which can involve prolonged driving and fatigue-often exacerbates these conditions. Therefore, a neurological exam on a driver who has suffered a stroke should assess the following: vision, concentration, cognitive abilities, attention, judgment, physical strength and agility, and reaction time.
