It can be performed in a short time—sometimes as quickly as 5 minutes—to establish neurological function. In the emergency department, this rapid assessment can make the difference with respect to proper treatment and the extent of recovery that is possible.

Hemorrhagic strokes, less common but potentially more devastating than ischemic strokes, result from cerebral vessel ruptures or leaks. Risk factors include hypertension, substance use, and certain medications.

It highlights what occurs when there's a disruption in brain perfusion, namely a stroke, and stresses the complexity involved in treating strokes. It differentiates between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, noting the importance of recognizing these differences for effective nursing care and intervention.

It discusses the brain's structure, including the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and cranial nerves, and the protective layers, meninges. The importance of swift recognition and emergency treatment of strokes is emphasized, detailing the FAST and BE-FAST acronyms for identifying symptoms.
