What score on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) indicates a response to pain for eye opening?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

The correct answer is: 2

A score of 2 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) for eye opening indicates that the patient responds to pain by opening their eyes. The GCS is a neurological scale that assesses a person’s level of consciousness based on three aspects: eye, verbal, and motor responses. In the context of eye opening, a score of 1 represents no eye opening at all, signifying no response, while a score of 2 specifically means that the individual will open their eyes in reaction to painful stimuli. This scoring is essential for assessing the severity of a patient's condition and can aid in determining the appropriate level of care needed.
