Pdf Summary

The <em>AANN Core Curriculum for Neuroscience Nursing</em>, Seventh Edition, is a comprehensive reference published by the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses in 2022. Edited by Linda Littlejohns, Molly McNett, and DaiWai Olson, it updates the curriculum to reflect developments in neuroscience knowledge, clinical practice, and technology.

Organized into three sections, the book first covers foundational concepts: ethics, nervous-system physiology and anatomy, intracranial dynamics, neurological assessment, diagnostic testing, monitoring technologies, temperature management, and consciousness. The second section addresses neurological diseases and conditions, including intracranial-pressure disorders, hydrocephalus, infections, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, movement and neuromuscular disorders, stroke, tumors, brain and spinal trauma, spine and peripheral-nerve disorders, pain, headaches, and sleep disorders. The final section considers care across populations and settings, covering pediatric and developmental conditions, older adults, perioperative care, and rehabilitation. It also includes guidance on standardized test-taking.

Tables, figures, assessment tools, and clinical measures support the text. The curriculum is intended for neuroscience nurses across specialties, care settings, and experience levels, and may be useful for professional certification preparation, including the CNRN and SCRN exams. The front matter also acknowledges the many past editors, contributors, and reviewers whose work has shaped the curriculum over successive editions.
