OBRA provides regulations for proper assessment of the elderly; for this reason, registered nurses have to provide the initial physical assessment.

Answer to Question 2

The patient may suffer from depression as a result of limitations produced by the stroke. The patient's cerebrovascular event also will have an impact on the patient and his family. Depression can be evidenced by sadness, confusion, and lack of self-care.
