Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to assess the verbal response of a patient using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) based on the given assessment of "Normal/Oriented."

2. Relevant Concepts

The Glasgow Coma Scale for verbal response is assessed as follows:

  • 5: Oriented (normal)
  • 4: Confused conversation
  • 3: Inappropriate words
  • 2: Incomprehensible sounds
  • 1: No verbal response

3. Analysis and Detail

Since the assessment describes the patient as "Normal/Oriented," the appropriate score for the verbal response would be a 5.

4. Verify and Summarize

The "Normal/Oriented" state directly corresponds to the score of 5 on the GCS. Thus the verbal response is correctly assessed.

Final Answer

The score for verbal response is 5.
