Pdf Summary

The <em>AANN Core Curriculum for Neuroscience Nursing, Seventh Edition</em> is a comprehensive reference published in 2022 by the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. Edited by Linda Littlejohns, Molly McNett, and DaiWai Olson, it is intended for neuroscience nurses at different experience levels and across clinical settings, patient age groups, and specialties. It also supports preparation for professional certification and education programs.

The book is organized into three sections. <strong>Neuroscience Concepts and Foundations</strong> covers ethics, nervous-system physiology and anatomy, intracranial dynamics, neurological assessment, diagnostic testing, monitoring technologies, temperature management, and consciousness. <strong>Neuroscience Diseases and Conditions</strong> addresses topics including intracranial pressure, hydrocephalus, infections, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, movement and neuromuscular disorders, stroke, tumors, traumatic brain and spine injuries, spine disorders, peripheral nerve injuries, pain, headaches, and sleep disorders. <strong>Neuroscience Across the Continuum</strong> focuses on pediatric and developmental conditions, older adults, perioperative care, and rehabilitation; the book also includes guidance on standardized test taking.

Extensive tables and illustrations support the material, including coverage of neurological examinations, diagnostic findings, treatments, monitoring devices, and disease processes. The contributors and reviewers include clinicians, educators, and researchers from a range of neuroscience and nursing disciplines.

The publisher notes that nursing practice and treatment recommendations evolve with new evidence. Readers are advised to consult current medication information, and clinical decisions—including drug dosages and treatment choices—remain the responsibility of the licensed prescriber.
