Pdf Summary

This excerpt is an alphabetical index from a comprehensive neuroscience nursing reference, rather than a continuous discussion. It maps a broad range of topics to page numbers, including anatomy and physiology of the nervous system; neurological assessment and diagnostic testing; and care across adult, pediatric, neonatal, and older-adult populations.<br /><br />Major clinical areas include traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke, epilepsy and seizures, infections, hydrocephalus, brain and spinal tumors, movement and neuromuscular disorders, peripheral nerve injuries, headaches and pain, sleep disorders, and age-related neurological changes. Entries also cover intracranial pressure and cerebral blood-flow monitoring, neuroendocrine and electrolyte problems, rehabilitation, perioperative care, temperature management, and supportive nursing interventions.<br /><br />The index references assessment scales, imaging and electrophysiology, medications, procedures, therapies, and relevant anatomy. It also includes ethics, consent, decision-making, end-of-life care, and professional nursing practice. Overall, it serves as a navigation tool for a wide-ranging textbook on neurological disorders and neuroscience nursing care.
