sudden onset of right-sided weakness, right facial droop, and difficulty speaking. He was transported to the emergency
department (ED) where these symptoms continue to persist. It has been one hour from the onset of his neurologic
symptoms when he presents to the ED. You are the nurse responsible for his care.

Personal/Social History:
John lives with his wife in their own home in a small rural community. He owns a hardware store where he remains
active and involved in the day-to-day operations. His wife insists on being by his side and talking to John despite John’s
frustration in not being able to answer her questions. His wife reports that the past week he has been complaining of
episodes where his heart felt as if it was beating irregularly and fast but then resolved. His wife also states that he has
been complaining of pain in his right foot the past week. John has been trying to quit smoking the past month and has
been using a nicotine patch. His wife reports that he does not regularly check his blood glucose and eats what he wants.

the symptoms of stroke to increase the chances of recovery

wife’s questions speaking, it is important to try and communicate with the patient in other
way and talk to the doctor for a referral for a speech therapist to
collaborate in the patients care

patient’s risk for stroke due to the change in blood flow which can form
