This simulation focuses on stroke management. The patient is a 65 y/o female who was admitted to the medical unit from the nursing home with pneumonia (accompainied by delirium and dehydration) for IV antibiotics therapy 8 days ago. The patient also suffers from comorbidity and is taking multiple medications to treat them. The learners will take on the nursing role to conduct a comprehensive neurological examination for the patient, as well as establish priorities of nursing and collaborative care to better treat her.
