Clinical Scenario 1: Education on prevention of ischaemic stroke

You are asked to design a Patient Information Tool to explain how the blood supply to the brain works, ischaemic stroke, and prevention of ischaemic stroke. Integration of the blood vessels with the heart and respiratory system is also required.

To address this, the specific information to be provided in the Patient Information Tool is detailed below, with two main components, for Student A and Student B.’

Student B:
