The nurse is caring for an older adult client who has recently had a stroke. The nurse assesses that the right side of the client's face is drooping. The nurse might also expect which of the following assessment findings?

The correct answer is C: Dysphagia. When assessing a client with facial drooping after a stroke, the nurse should expect dysphagia due to the involvement of the cranial nerves responsible for swallowing. This is a common complication post-stroke. Xerostomia (A) refers to dry mouth and is not directly related to facial drooping. Epistaxis (B) refers to nosebleeds and is not typically associated with facial drooping. Rhinorrhea (D) is nasal discharge and is not typically a direct consequence of facial drooping from a stroke.
