What Are Two Questions You Would Ask This Patienti Would Ask This Pat What Are Two Questions You Would Ask This Patienti Would Ask This Pat What are two questions you would ask this patient? I would ask this patient if he is experiencing a headache. At this time, it is important to try to determine whether or not the patient is experiencing a hemorrhagic versus ischemic stroke, as treatment will be different. Hemorrhagic strokes often present with headaches and loss of consciousnesses. They are treated with surgery to stop the bleeding as opposed to TPA or other reperfusion methods for ischemic strokes. They are also often caused by severe hypertension. A CT scan will be obtained to concretely determine the type of cerebrovascular accident that is occurring but it is an important time-saving assessment to anticipate what services the patient may need in the immediate future. My second question would be if the patient has a history of CVA or TIA. The onset of symptoms will be when the patient fell asleep, as the exact time of onset cannot be determined. This would make him ineligible for TPA but given his history, he has numerous risk factors for an ischemic stroke and may require surgical intervention to restore cerebral perfusion (McCance & Huether, 2019).
