Which educational approach is most effective when teaching stroke survivors with cognitive fatigue about medication management?
Answer: Brief, repeated sessions with written materials and pill organizers
Short, repeated teaching sessions with written reinforcement and organizational tools accommodate cognitive fatigue and memory deficits common after stroke.
A stroke survivor with moderate aphasia wants to participate in community decisions. Which communication support tool most directly promotes their autonomy?
Answer: Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device
AAC devices allow individuals with aphasia to express preferences and participate in decisions independently, supporting autonomy and self-determination.
Which secondary stroke prevention behavior should the ASC most strongly reinforce during community reintegration education?
Answer: Medication adherence and blood pressure self-monitoring
Medication adherence and home blood pressure monitoring are the highest-yield behaviors for preventing recurrent stroke and are directly actionable by patients.
A stroke survivor with post-stroke fatigue is attempting to return to previous volunteer activities. What advice should the stroke coordinator provide?
Answer: Encourage energy conservation techniques and graded activity increases
Energy conservation techniques and graded activity progression allow stroke survivors with fatigue to gradually resume meaningful community roles without symptom exacerbation.
Which factor most commonly contributes to medication non-adherence in community-dwelling stroke survivors?
Answer: Cognitive impairment affecting memory and executive function
Post-stroke cognitive impairment, including memory deficits and executive dysfunction, is the most consistent predictor of medication non-adherence in community-dwelling survivors.
When assessing a stroke survivor's readiness for community reintegration, which domain of the ICF framework is most relevant?
Answer: Participation (life roles and social involvement)
Community reintegration is best captured by the ICF participation domain, which addresses involvement in life situations such as work, family roles, and community activities.
A stroke survivor is returning to a rural community with limited healthcare access. Which telehealth application is most beneficial for ongoing stroke follow-up?
Answer: Video-based teleneurology visits for medication management and symptom review
Video-based teleneurology enables real-time clinical assessment, medication adjustments, and neurological review for rural stroke survivors who lack access to specialist care.
