Question:
To assess a patient with a stroke, there are two major assessment tools: the Cincinnati Stroke Scale and the Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen. Which one of these two tools uses arm drift as a diagnostic tool?
A
Cincinnati Stroke Scale
explanation
The Cincinnati stroke scale uses arm drift as a diagnostic tool. Ask the patient to lift both arms up in front of them, close their eyes and watch for an arm to drift downward. If there is a drift downward on one arm then assess for a CVA on that side.
