Conclusion
In conclusion stroke is one of the most debilitating issues of the older people. Being nurses we should have the knowledge and skills to handle a patient with stroke. My patient suffered stroke because of diabetes and hypertension. These are the most commonest causes. In order to prevent stroke the prevention of theses diseases is essential.
