Question 1 of 5

The nurse is obtaining a history from a client who was admitted to the hospital with a thrombotic stroke. What are the most likely signs/symptoms the client experienced before the stroke occurred? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: A,C,D

Rationale: Cerebral thrombosis does not occur suddenly. During the few hours or days before a thrombotic stroke, the client may experience a transient loss of speech (aphasia), hemiplegia, or paresthesias on one side of the body. Other signs and symptoms of thrombotic stroke vary, but they may include dizziness, cognitive changes, or seizures. Headache is rare, and a loss of consciousness is not likely to occur.
