Answer:
Neurological findings are most clinically useful in well-oxygenated patients who have normal blood pressure (normotensive), normal blood glucose levels (normoglycemic), and no sedation. This is important because hypoxia (low oxygen in tissues), hypotension (low blood pressure), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), and sedating drugs profoundly alter the signs elicited and severely limit the clinical utility of the exam.
