Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jill's behavior is consistent with hemineglect, which is a condition where a person fails to attend, perceive or act on stimuli presented to one side of space after brain damage, typically to the right parietal lobe. The fact that she only washed the right side of her face at night is evidence of this. Additionally, the fact that Jack mentions Jill recently experiencing something that might result in brain damage suggests a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), which is commonly associated with hemineglect.
