Close to your hospital, eating at a restaurant with a friend you notice a hospital employee drop her drink. The female appears in her 50’s and is Hispanic. You approach to help her clean up the spill when you notice her face is drooping on the left side. You get focused and begin conducting FAST and ADPIE. You will ask if she is ok. You will ask her name. Introduce yourself and tell her that you can help her. You have your friend call for help (notify staff and call 911). You stay by the patient’s side; monitoring ABC’s; reassuring and decreasing anxiety. When EMS arrives, the patient’s initial blood pressure is 200/110. The patient is placed on a cardiac monitor and EMS transports her to VHC.
