can someone help me with this case study question?

All you've provided is a description, what is the question?

It asks for the following:

1. What is the diagnosis?

2. What is the likely location of the pathology in this instance?

3. What are the risk factors for this condition?

4. What are the possible mechanisms of the pathology in this case?

5. Which is the more likely mechanism of the pathology in this case?

6. What is the underlying problem in this case?

7. How did the underlying problem lead to this incident?

I was thinking a stroke or Bells palsy but I am not sure or ITV

Not TIV but TIA

I am going with an Ischemic Stroke, I got 1, 3, 6 and 7 of the questions. I am unsure of 2, 4 and 5

1.  What is the diagnosis?  Ischemic Stroke
   2.  What is the likely location of the pathology in this instance? In his brain, it could be in his brain stem or his left hemisphere because both controls speech. It is a little tricky because he has left side weakness and this would be controlled by his right hemisphere.
   3.  What are the risk factors for this condition? Hypercholesterolemia, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, family history of stroke, increasing age (especially above 55), and race (black people are more likely to die of stroke).
4.  What are the possible mechanisms of pathology in this case? Thrombotic stroke and embolic stroke
5.  Which is the more likely mechanism of the pathology in this case? Thrombotic stroke
6.  What is the underlying problem in this case? Hypercholesterolemia and high blood pressure
7.  How did the underlying problem lead to this incident? The high cholesterol can build up in an artery and cause a blockage in the artery. High Blood pressure/hypertension can lead to the thickening of the arterial walls/narrowing the passageway


WOULD THESE BE A GOOD ANSWER FOR EACH?

it is an Ischemic Stroke
