1a: Level of Consciousness (LOC) Instructions Order free copies of the Stroke Scale booklet. Interested in a portable, pocket-sized, laminated reference booklet for health professionals who administer the NIH Stroke Scale to stroke patients. Those items are not attached, but can be accessed by opening the PDF version of the NIH Stroke Scale (pdf, 855 KB) and viewing pages 5-8. Note: The instructions above refer to attachments such as a picture, naming sheet, list of sentences, and words. Except where indicated, the patient should not be coached (i.e., repeated requests to patient to make a special effort). The clinician should record answers while administering the exam and work quickly. Scores should reflect what the patient does, not what the clinician thinks the patient can do. Follow directions provided for each exam technique. Record performance in each category after each subscale exam. Instructions: Administer stroke scale items in the order listed.
