Tables, figures, and medication comparisons support quick reference, while chapter-end questions and case studies help readers review knowledge and apply concepts to realistic clinical situations. The resource is intended for bedside nurses and other stroke-care professionals, as well as educators and those involved in program management and performance improvement.
