Should This Patient With Global Aphasia After a Left Cerebral Stroke Be Admitted to Your Hospital-Based Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit?

You are the medical director of a very busy, 20-bed, general inpatient rehabilitation unit (IRU) at a community hospital. About 40% of admissions to the unit are persons with moderate and severe stroke from the geographic region, and your census runs very nearly 100% capacity, usually with a waiting list. The neurology service asks you to assess a 60-year-old man with a long history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus who is now 6 days post a large left middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemic stroke.
