Hey all, I just signed up today and this is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while, and I have to say, this site is awesome!
Just a quick bit of info: I'm 24 from Ottawa, ON. I'm in my 2nd year of a two year BLS program. Our first year was spent doing a ton of theory(plenty of which was useless unfortunately) and some practical stuff. We only just started hospital clinicals this semester, and depending on if we get signed off on all of our equipment, we can start rideouts by Oct. 15 I believe. I definitely can't wait for that!
Anyways, we were given this neuro assessment assignment where we pick a problem/disease and have to come up with 3 questions related to predisposing Hx, 3 phyiscal exam hallmarks, and 3 vital sign hallmarks among other things. I'm having a little trouble with the history questions. I've gotten questions asking about previous stroke/tia, diabetes, and hypertension, but I feel they aren't maybe focused enough.
Basically, if you had to ask someone three questions regarding their predisposition to having a stroke(specifically a left one), what would you ask in order to rule it in?
Thanks all!
