                                          Ask the person to smile.
                                          Does one side of the
                                          face droop?







                                          Ask the person to raise
                                          both arms out. Does one
                                          arm drift downward?









                                             Ask the person to
                                              repeat a simple phrase.
                                             Is their speech slurred or
                                             strange?




                                        If you observe any of these
                                        signs, call 911 immediately and
                                        tell the operator you suspect
                                        the victim may be having a
                                        stroke.
