C
Vision
D
Motor coordination
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the primary functions associated with each lobe of the cerebrum. The temporal lobe is primarily responsible for processing auditory information, which relates to hearing.
Consider the other functions listed: balance, vision, and motor coordination. These are primarily associated with other parts of the brain. For example, balance is often linked to the cerebellum, vision to the occipital lobe, and motor coordination to the frontal lobe and cerebellum.
Focus on the temporal lobe's role in processing sounds and its involvement in language comprehension and memory formation.
Evaluate the question by matching the function of hearing with the temporal lobe, as it is the lobe responsible for auditory processing.
Conclude that to assess the temporal lobe, the nurse should evaluate the patient's hearing ability, as this is the primary function associated with this region of the brain.
