Description:
Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), or strokes, are a leading cause of death in the U.S. (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2021). Patient prognosis and the preservation of functional status are highly dependent on receiving prompt, timely treatment. A thorough understanding of stroke pathophysiology is crucial, as is assessing, diagnosing, and determining the appropriate plan of care. With this understanding, clinicians will be better equipped to make the best possible decisions in the provision of care for their patients.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify types of strokes, their etiologies, and their symptoms.
• Recall components of the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association guidelines for the care of stroke patients.
• Describe treatment options for ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
