●● How many strokes occur yearly in the U.S.?
Answer: More than 700,000.
●● What are common manifestations of a stroke?
Answer: Contralateral hemiplegia, hemisensory loss, and contralateral
visual field blindness.
●● What does contralateral visual field blindness indicate?
Answer: A stroke affecting the opposite cerebral hemisphere.
●● What is aphasia?
Answer: An integrative language disorder due to brain damage, usually
in the dominant hemisphere.
●● What causes ischemic stroke?
Answer: Sudden occlusion of a cerebral artery due to thrombus
formation or embolization.
,●● What is the major risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke?
Answer: Hypertension.
●● What is the primary consideration in the acute phase of stroke
treatment?
Answer: The patient's airway and stabilization of respiratory and
cardiovascular function.
●● What is the goal of treatment for ischemic stroke?
Answer: To minimize infarct size and preserve neurologic function.
●● What is acute pain?
Answer: Pain resulting from tissue injury that resolves when the injury
heals, usually within 3 months.
●● What are common causes of acute pain?
Answer: Headaches, accounting for ~13 million physician visits

bone axis.
●● What is a greenstick fracture?
Answer: An incomplete break in bone, usually occurring in growing
bones of children.
●● What is delayed union in fracture healing?
Answer: When bone pain and tenderness increase beyond expected
healing time, usually identified 3-6 months after fracture.
●● What is scoliosis?
Answer: A lateral curvature of the spine that increases during rapid
growth, evidenced by uneven shoulders.
●● What is osteoporosis?
Answer: The most common metabolic bone disease, characterized by
