A nurse is caring for an elderly man recently admitted to the ICU following a stroke. She
assesses his cognitive function using a new cognitive assessment test she learned about in a
G
recent article in a nursing journal. She then brings a cup of water and a straw to the patient
because she observes that his lips are dry. Later, she has the patient sit in a wheelchair and takes

him to have some blood tests performed. He objects at first, saying that he can walk on his own,

recognizes signs of an imminent stroke in the patient and immediately pages the physician.
