A sign that a stroke is occurring is:

1. Facial droop

2. Increased urination

3. Severe leg pain

4. Sudden headache

The correct answer is: Facial droop

A stroke occurs when there is an interruption of blood flow to the brain. This can result in a wide range of symptoms, including facial drooping, sudden numbness or weakness in the extremities, confusion, trouble speaking or understanding others, and vision problems. Increased urination and severe leg pain are not typically associated with a stroke and could be signs of other conditions. A sudden headache may also occur during a stroke, but it is not always present and should not be the only symptom used to diagnose a stroke. If someone is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
