Pdf Summary

<em>AANN Comprehensive Review for Stroke Nursing, Second Edition</em> is a reference and study guide for nurses caring for people with stroke across the continuum—from prevention and prehospital response through emergency and acute treatment, rehabilitation, and community reintegration. It also supports preparation for the Stroke Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) examination and nursing education.

The book’s eight chapters cover brain and vascular anatomy, stroke pathophysiology and syndromes, risk reduction, hyperacute and acute care, diagnostic testing, medications, postacute rehabilitation, and stroke systems and quality improvement. Topics include ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, stroke mimics, time-sensitive treatments such as thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, complication prevention, medication management, and the roles of nurses and interprofessional teams.

Throughout, the text presents practice recommendations and care standards in a concise, practical format. Tables, figures, chapter review questions, and case studies help readers apply evidence and clinical principles to real-world care. The resource is intended not only for bedside practice, but also for nursing education, program management, performance improvement, and coordination of stroke systems of care.
