Eyes - Is there sudden blurred or double vision or sudden, persistent vision trouble?
Face - When the person smiles is there drooping on one or both sides of the face?
Arms - When the person raises both arms does one side drift downward? Is there weakness or numbness on one side?
Speech - Is the person's speech slurred or garbled? Can he/she repeat simple phrases?
