B - Balance: Watch for a sudden loss of balance.
E - Eyes: Is there a sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes? Or double vision?
F- Face: Ask the person to smile. Does the face droop?
A- Arm: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S- Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?
T- Time: If you observe any of these signs, then it's time to call 911.
