A stroke, previously known medically as a Cerebrovascular Accident (CV A), IS
the rapidly developing loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to
the brain. This can be due to ischemia (lack of blood flow) caused by blockage

affected area of the brain is unable to function, leading to inability to move one or more
limbs on one side of the body, inability to understand or formulate speech, or an inability
to see one side of the visual field. The Aim of the Study is to assess nurses’ performance
