Symptoms of a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) always persist for more than 24 hours.
True
False
This statement is false. TIA symptoms typically resolve within 24 hours, often much sooner. In fact, most TIAs last less than an hour, with many resolving within minutes. This is a key distinguishing feature between TIAs and strokes. While TIAs are often called 'mini-strokes,' their temporary nature sets them apart from full strokes, where symptoms persist beyond 24 hours or cause permanent brain damage. However, it's crucial to note that TIAs are serious warning signs and should be treated as medical emergencies, as they significantly increase the risk of a subsequent, potentially more severe stroke. Emergency nurses should be aware of this characteristic to properly triage and manage patients presenting with transient neurological symptoms.
