Stroke Risk Factors Form
Who is responsible for ensuring that it is offered to the patient? The stroke patient’s primary nurse.
When should it be used? Prior to retrieving a printed AVS, nurses will bring (or delegate this task) a SHEEP to their stroke patient and help them to open the survey. Be sure to remind the patient that this survey is confidential, and they should not put their name on any part of the survey. Once the survey is opened and the patient understands how to answer the questions, the nurse will leave the room to pick up the patient’s printed AVS. After this, the patient should be allowed to complete their survey with no staff present in the room. The survey is only 10 simple questions and we do not expect that it will take very long.
What happens if my patient is unable complete the survey on their own? If your patient is unable to complete the survey, one of their loved ones can complete the survey as well. If no one is available who is willing and able to complete the survey then the survey will not be completed. Our current goal is a 50% return rate, but we hope to see even more than that as time goes on.
