                                         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.
