What condition involves using the wrong instrument for an ADL, such as using a fork to brush your hair?

• Ideamotor apraxia

• Unilateral Spatial Neglect

• Visual agnosia

• Ideational Apraxia

You are treating a patient with a right CVA and left sided weakness. They are having difficulty putting on their shirt (e.g. placing arm in the wrong hole), but can verbalize what they are trying to do. Which perceptual deficit is this most likely?

• Perseveration

• Spatial Relations Dysfunction

• Ideational Apraxia

• Agnosia

A patient is washing their hands continuously without moving onto their next task. What condition might they be presenting with?

• Perseveration

• Unilateral body neglect

• Tactile agnosia

• Topographical disorientation

A patient is having trouble finding something in their fridge which is right in front of them. The patient uses tactile cues to find the identified item, feeling the different objects in the frdige to identify them. This patient most likely presents with . . .
