Answer:

I would call this a CVA (cerebral vascular accident).

The s/s she is experiencing line up with it, being unaware of her surroundings and unable to respond. Cerebellar area would most be affected.

If treated in a timely manner she may get proper functioning of her brain back. Strokes and the implications can be severe and happen quickly.

Risk factors include: HTN, DM, age, vascular degeneration, CAD, hx of.

Not much is given on her history nor the events leading up to it. It could be anything. We just know that she was older. I would go with that.
