During a 6-month well-baby check up, the mother mentions to the nurse that her infant seems to be sleeping just as much as she did as a newborn, and she seems to do everything with her left hand. The nurse recognizes that these are warning signs of stroke that occurred early in life. What other question should the nurse ask to assess for signs of stroke?
A)"Have you noticed your baby jerking any muscles of the face, arms, or legs?"

C)"Does your baby vomit frequently after feeding?"
D)"Does your baby frequently seem to lose her balance?"

A)Stroke warning signs in infants include seizures, extreme sleepiness, and favoring the use of only one side of the body. Signs of seizure in neonates include repetitive facial movements, staring, apnea, and jerking of the muscles of the face, arms, or legs. Questions related to balance or forming words are not age appropriate, as most normal 6-month-old infants do not have steady balance or the ability to form words. The question related to vomiting is also not appropriate, as vomiting at this age is more frequently related to food intolerances/allergies or gastrointestinal problems rather than stroke.
