Stroke Index

Pdf Summary

This document is an alphabetical index to <em>AANN Comprehensive Review for Stroke Nursing</em> (pages 345–366). It maps the book’s coverage of stroke nursing rather than presenting full explanations.

Topics span the stroke-care continuum: prevention and risk factors; prehospital assessment and emergency triage; acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke management; diagnostic imaging and laboratory testing; stroke scales; medications and reversal agents; and monitoring, safety, and complication prevention. The index also covers stroke types and syndromes, brain and vascular anatomy, stroke mimics, and related conditions such as transient ischemic attack, cerebral venous thrombosis, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and arteriovenous malformations.

Prevention entries include hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, obesity, smoking, diet, physical activity, sleep-disordered breathing, and other modifiable and nonmodifiable risks. Care topics include thrombolysis, thrombectomy, blood-pressure and glucose management, anticoagulation, dysphagia screening, seizure precautions, fever control, and prevention of aspiration, infection, falls, and venous thromboembolism.

Extensive sections address rehabilitation and postacute care, including neuroplasticity, functional assessment, interdisciplinary teams, caregiver support, discharge planning, community reintegration, and return to driving or work. The index also includes quality improvement, stroke-system organization, certification, professional roles, and educational resources. Overall, it serves as a reference guide to the book’s clinical, preventive, rehabilitative, and systems-level content for stroke nursing.
