A nurse teaches a group of student nurses about different types of strokes. Read the paragraph below. From the dropdown menus, fill in each blank with the correct response. Each response will be used only once (one answer option will not be used at all). “The most common type of ischemic stroke, usually due to atherosclerosis of larger cerebral vessels, is called a(n) stroke. If a piece of atherosclerotic plaque breaks off, or if a blood clot forms in the heart due to atrial fibrillation, it can travel and become lodged in a narrower artery of the brain causing a(n) stroke. If blood flow obstructs a deeper, penetrating artery within the brain, this is called a(n) stroke and typically has fewer signs and symptoms due to a smaller amount of brain tissue affected. Finally, strokes have the highest mortality rate of all strokes.”
