This study analyzed the effectiveness of tools such as the NIH Stroke Scale, FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time), and Cincinnati Pre Hospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) in enhancing early detection, improving treatment response time, and reducing patient mortality. It explored the latest advances in assessment techniques, including the integration of artificial intelligence and telemedicine. Taking the implementation of rapid assessment tools in stroke units as an example, practical considerations and results were emphasized, demonstrating the improvement of diagnostic accuracy and patient care efficiency. And the future innovation potential of rapid assessment tools and their impact on nursing education and clinical practice were discussed, emphasizing the need for continuous research to improve these methods and maximize their effectiveness. The utility of acute stroke nursing. This study evaluated the application and impact of various rapid assessment tools in the care of acute stroke patients to facilitate the future diagnosis and care of patients with acute cerebrovascular accidents. Keywords Acute cerebrovascular accident; Stroke nursing care; Rapid assessment tools; NIH Stroke Scale; Early diagnosis 1 Introduction Acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA), commonly known as stroke, is a critical medical condition characterized by the sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to potential brain damage and long-term disability (Wang and Jin, 2024). Strokes are broadly classified into ischemic and hemorrhagic types, with ischemic strokes being more prevalent, accounting for approximately 60%~70% of all cases (Jin, 2019). The condition is a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, necessitating prompt and effective medical intervention to mitigate adverse outcomes (Zawada et al., 2023). The management of stroke patients requires immediate and precise assessment to ensure timely intervention, which is crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of long-term disability (Pelissier, 2010). Rapid assessment tools are essential in acute stroke care as they facilitate the early detection of physiological and behavioral changes, enabling healthcare providers to initiate appropriate treatment protocols swiftly. The integration of digital sensors and remote monitoring tools has shown promise in enhancing the early recognition and prevention of cerebrovascular accidents, thereby improving the quality of care provided to stroke patients. Additionally, the awareness and actual practice of recognizing patients' physical changes (RPPCs) among nurses play a significant role in preventing the worsening of acute stroke symptoms (Hisaka et al., 2021). This study discusses the benefits and challenges of using rapid assessment tools in clinical practice, including the analysis of various rapid assessment methods, their impact on patient outcomes, and the role of nursing interventions in early recovery and rehabilitation of stroke patients. It will also explore the importance of continuous care models and evidence-based practices in improving the quality of care for stroke patients during the transition from hospital to home. This study provides insights for optimizing nursing practice and improving the overall management of acute cerebrovascular accidents.
