Correct answer: E — Occupational therapy and executive function assessment
Post-stroke cognitive impairment may affect executive function despite preserved memory, so functional and occupational therapy assessment is needed. A normal memory score alone does not prove safe independence; malingering, colonoscopy and stopping rehabilitation are inappropriate. Cognition after stroke should be assessed in relation to real tasks.
