Summary:

Stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is caused by a problem with blood flow in the brain, which causes brain cells to die. Because the brain controls all the body's functions, patients may have physical disabilities, such as problems walking or caring for themselves, and mental disabilities, including problems with understanding and with talking. This in-service lesson looks at the important role home health aides play in caring for a patient who is dealing with the life-changing effects of a stroke.LESSON OBJECTIVESAfter completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to:Recognize the signs and symptoms of a strokeVerbalize a basic knowledge of the causes and risks of a strokeDescribe some of the potential rehabilitation needs of the patient with a strokeKnow how to care for patients with a strokeContents of this lesson:A clearly written fact sheetA 10-question post-test to measure understanding of the subject matterAn answer sheet with a place for the instructor's comments and signatureAn illustrative, homecare-specific case studySuggested supplemental learning activitiesAn attendance log and certificate of completion
