Question 1 – what would you do?
Offer to show Charles how the app works during the appointment, if it is accessible for Charles, provide the information in an alternative format.
Question 2 – what would you advise?
I would advise for Charles to speak to the medical team and senior nurses before going back on his bike. This is to avoid any further complications and to make sure he is healthy and stable enough to go back to exercising.
Question 3
I would direct Charles to the following advice, Face – does your face look different on one side? Arms – can you raise your arms? Speech – is your speech slurred or different? Time to act – call 999, get help. I think this offers Charles the breakdown of a stroke which will help him notice in the future.
