The nurse is caring for a client who arrives at the emergency department with reports of experiencing dizziness and difficulty walking to the bathroom. The nurse observes right-sided weakness and sluggish enunciation of speech. After obtaining vital signs, the nurse should implement which intervention?

Choice A reason: While pneumatic compression devices are used for DVT prevention, they are not the immediate intervention for suspected stroke. Choice B reason: Placing an indwelling urinary catheter is not the first-line intervention for a patient with suspected stroke symptoms. Choice C reason: Notifying the stroke team is the most appropriate action as the patient's symptoms suggest a possible stroke, requiring urgent evaluation and management. Choice D reason: Aspirin may be used in the management of stroke, but only after a stroke has been confirmed and not as an immediate intervention.
