usually work with the stroke survivor and help in the wider way that usually include the
assessment, identification and monitoring as well as the aspect of rehabilitation, psychological
support and end of life care. Due to the young age, the nurses usually show the aspect which is
cumulative as per the service which provide proper support and care by educating and providing
the information that may helpful to reduce the risk of stroke. Whereas, in other hand, they also
support family by providing them proper surety regards with the complication (Kuipers, Cramm,
and Nieboer, 2019). They share progressive report of the patient to their family and outline the
positive way where patient show recovery that help to support the family in all the ways which
generate wellbeing and resilience.
In addition, there are some of the role which is plays by nurses for the stroke survivor are:

the fluctuation and the variability in the term of stroke deficit usually decrease. If the patient
shows any new sign and symptoms which is associated with the stroke or deficit which become
the situation worse than they were in initial stroke presentation (Cheng, Chair, and Chau, 2018).
Managing and minimizing the complication: In addition, after the acute stroke, it is showing
approximate two third of the patient face the issue with stroke. The nursing care and medical
management are usually taking for the patient which focus on the prevention of complication.
Therefore, in such cases, manage the patient nutritional and hydration status. Some of the patient
are usually require the nasogastric tube or the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube which
is used for the medication administration and also helpful for providing of proper nutrition.
Therefore, the other prevention is also monitored by the nurses is to measure aspect for the

treatment of nausea and vomiting and perform proper oral hygiene and teaching the patient that
may related with the deep breathing exercise (Connolly, and Mahoney, 2018).
Helping the patient that modify the stroke risk factor: In order to prevent the stroke recurrence

risk factor. The primary care provider or the stroke which is showing the oversee risk factor

provide proper education on stroke pathology and assist them in helping the patient comply with
the plan of care. They are showing the aspect which is related expectation and coping mechanism
which review the patient and provide adequate knowledge with their health education. Therefore,
encourage the patient to take proper participation within the rehabilitation session where the
functional assistance technique and communication can enhance the ability in order to care for
