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.
