Early assessment for stroke is critical in accurate diagnosis, appropriate diagnostics, optimal management and obtaining a favorable prognosis.

After completing this module, the participant would be able to:

2. Use the NIH Stroke Scale to quantify and communicate changes in neurological status over time to other health care providers.

The exam will test your knowledge of the NIH Stroke Scale.
