According to the National Stroke Association, each year nearly 80,000 people have a new or recurrent stroke, a stroke happens every 40 seconds, is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States, every 4 minutes someone dies from a stroke, up to 8% of strokes can be prevented and is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States (National Stroke Association, n.d.) Because stroke is an emergency, it is vital to recognize the symptoms of a stroke because getting help and treatment quickly will have a better outcome.The symptoms can be easily remembered with the acronym F-A-S-T.(F)ace: Ask the person to smile and assess whether one side of the face is drooping.(A)rms: Ask the person to raise both arms and assess whether one arm drifts downward.(S)peech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase and assess if their speech is slurred or strange.(T)ime: If one observes any of these signs, call 911 immediately.Strokes can cause patients to feel helpless and lose a sense of independence, depending on the severity of a stroke. Patients may require additional help with activities of daily living and may enter a facility that has physical therapy to help with the weakness that has occurred from a stroke. At the skilled nursing facility, I work at, I have encountered several patients who are admitted from a stroke for psychological, occupational, and speech therapy. When a patient has had a stroke, both the individual and family are impacted by the stressful demand that a stroke can lead to, and it is vital for the nurse to support the patient’s and families’ psychological and emotional needs by providing education and resources for the recovery phase. There are many stroke support groups, magazines, helplines, and a resource library that can be accessed on the National Stroke Association website (National Stroke Association, n.d.) As nurses, we must provide therapeutic communication and the best optimal care for our patients.References:Grand Canyon University (Ed). (2018).
