AANN Core Curriculum, 7th Edition, Ch. 28 Perioperative Considerations: Digital Version-Index

Index

Pdf Summary

This document is an alphabetical index to a comprehensive neuroscience and neurological nursing reference. It points readers to information on 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 topics include traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke and other cerebrovascular disorders, seizures and epilepsy, disorders of consciousness, infections, brain and spinal tumors, hydrocephalus, movement and neuromuscular disorders, peripheral nerve injuries, spinal conditions, pain and headaches, sleep disorders, and neuroendocrine problems. The index also covers rehabilitation, perioperative and critical care, temperature and intracranial-pressure management, and nursing interventions for complications such as respiratory, bowel, bladder, skin, and mobility problems.<br /><br />Additional entries address neurological medications and treatments, monitoring technologies, imaging and laboratory studies, complementary therapies, aging-related changes, ethics, decision-making, end-of-life care, and professional nursing practice. Numerous assessment scales, procedures, syndromes, anatomical structures, and specific diseases are cross-referenced, making the index a navigation aid rather than a narrative discussion of these subjects.
