Assignment:

You are working on a medical floor and just finished getting report on your patients. The first patient you see is Chris Jones, a 63 year old male that is hospitalized with pneumonia. When you introduce yourself to Chris, you notice that his speech is slurred and the left side of his face seems to have a droop.

What are your priority assessments for Chris given your initial interaction with him?
In looking at Chris's medical history, discuss two possible risk factors that could increase Chris's risk for a stroke.
Do you suspect that Chris had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke based on his history? Discuss your reasoning.
Chris returns to your unit a few days later after receiving treatment in the intensive care unit for his stroke. He has some lingering side effects from the stroke. Discuss two possible disabilities associated with strokes and what type of treatment or rehabilitation Chris would need for these.
