you will find information on the pathophysiology of the various kinds of stroke (cva) here on these websites:

if you do a search of the nursing student assistance forum as well as this general nursing student discussion forum for care plans or nursing diagnoses for cva, stroke, or cerebrovascular accidents (use the search box above) you are going to find close to 50, if not 100, threads on this that have information on the nursing diagnoses connected with a cva.
