Stroke - Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA)

This video reviews the different types of stroke. It discusses pathophysiology, signs and symptoms (S/S), risk factors, common laboratory and diagnostic tests, treatment options, and nursing care for patients suffering a stroke. The difference of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke are delineated.
Understanding of these concepts will help prepare registered nursing (RN) students for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
