Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So identify which of the following is not a consequence of celeb vascular accidents. Now let's go over each of these answer choices so that we may solve the question. So answer choice. A we have hemiplegia as it turns out many people who survive the liver vascular accidents are going to be paralyzed on one side of the body. And this is this hemiplegia. Therefore, this is going to be a consequence of cerebrovascular accidents and we're going to cancel it out because we're looking for the answer choice. That's not a consequence. Moving on. We have B and C sensory deficits and difficulty understanding or vocalizing speech. As it turns out, many of these labor vascular accidents are going to end up with people who commonly exhibit sensory or difficulty understanding or vocalizing speech, sensory deficits, or difficulty understanding or verbalizing speech. This is what these two answer choices are telling us. So we are also going to cancel them out because they have, they are a consequence of celeb vascular accidents then and finally, we have the which is permanent memory loss. Well as it turns out many people who undergo cero vascular accidents are going to have memory and thinking impairments impairments. Now, these are typically going to be in the months and years following cerebral vascular accident. However, these are not going to be permanent as the patient will eventually recover. Therefore, this is going to make answer choice, the permanent memory loss, an incorrect answer choice. It is not a consequence of cerebrovascular accidents. And we're going to be able to highlight it as the final answer to this question. I really hope this helped and I hope to see you on the next one.
