Abstract
Registered nurses working on a stroke unit using the ROSIER assessment tool are able to diagnose stroke with a degree of accuracy comparable to doctors using clinical neurological assessment. Prompt assessment of suspected stroke patients by registered nurses using the ROSIER tool could reduce delays in eligible stroke patients being assessed for rT-PA treatment.
