Answer to Question 1

Answer: A person having a stroke may suddenly feel weak, numb, or paralyzed in the arm, leg, or face, especially on one side of the body. He or she may stumble and have other difficulty walking. Vision may become blurry, or the person may start seeing double. Slurred speech is a common sign, as is an inability to find the right words or to repeat a simple sentence. A sudden and severe headache is also common, and may be accompanied by dizziness or vomiting. Consciousness may be altered, and the person may suddenly seem confused or experience delusions. Treatment from a by-stander includes first, call 9-1-1, next make note of the time you first noticed the symptoms, and do not give CPR unless the person is unconscious and has no pulse.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
