Which of the following options form an incorrect statement? “Neglect patients…”

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which statement about neglect patients forms an incorrect statement. 
Option 1: 'can see on both sides of space.' In unilateral neglect, patients often have intact basic visual perception and can see objects on both sides, but fail to attend to or explore the contralesional side. So this statement is generally accurate about neglect. 
Option 2: 'ignore the contralesional side of space.' This is a classic description of hemispatial neglect: the patient ignores or fails to attend to the side opposite the brain lesion (contralesional side). This statement is correct. 
Option 3: 'fail to eat food on one side of their plate.' Neglect can lead to bodily and spatial neglect in daily activities, including eating only from one side of the plate. This statement is consistent with neglect symptoms, so it is correct. 
Option 4: 'ignore the ipsilesional side of space.' In neglect, the failure to attend is typically to the contralesional side, not the ipsilesional side (the side of the brain lesion). Ignoring the ipsilesional side would contradict the core feature of neglect. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 
Overall, the only statement that mischaracterizes classic neglect symptoms is the last option, since neglect predominantly involves neglect of the contralesional side rather than the ipsilesional side.
