see the information and examples on this thread: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/help-care-plans-286986.html - help with care plans. if you search allnurses for care plans about cvas you will find a number of threads about them.

a care plan starts by listing the signs and symptoms that a patient has. the only symptom you mention is right side hemiparesis. you might want to read this tutorial about strokes: http://www.strokecenter.org/prof/ems/ - stroke interactive tutorial to learn about the signs and symptoms of a stroke. nursing diagnoses and then nursing interventions are developed from those signs and symptoms.
