                                         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.
