Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Glasgow Coma Scale is the most common assessment tool used to measure an individual's state of consciousness. It assesses three components: eye-opening, verbal response, and motor response, and produces a score on a scale from 3 to 15. This scale is widely used in emergency situations, as well as in neurology and intensive care settings. The other options listed (Global Consciousness Scale, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography) are not primarily used to measure an individual's state of consciousness.
