Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The first steps to check in a patient's mental examination is the level of consciousness, so the initial assessment includes asking to the patient if is oriented in person, time and place, if the patient responds correctly means it understands and that to this point there is not cortical damage and that is able to follow commands, that means the patient understands and that there is no damage at cortical level.
