Pdf Summary

The <em>AANN Core Curriculum for Neuroscience Nursing</em>, Seventh Edition (2022), is a comprehensive reference published by the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. Edited by Linda Littlejohns, Molly McNett, and DaiWai Olson, it supports neuroscience nursing practice and education, including preparation for professional certification.

The curriculum is organized into three sections. The first covers foundational concepts, including ethics, nervous-system physiology and anatomy, intracranial dynamics, neurological assessment, diagnostic testing, monitoring technologies, temperature management, and consciousness. The second addresses neurological diseases and conditions, such as stroke, epilepsy, infections, movement and neuromuscular disorders, tumors, traumatic brain and spine injuries, pain, headaches, and sleep disorders. The third focuses on care across populations and settings, including pediatric and developmental conditions, older adults, perioperative care, and rehabilitation, as well as strategies for standardized test taking.

Extensive tables and illustrations support learning by presenting anatomy, assessment methods, diagnostic findings, treatments, monitoring, and clinical tools. The book brings together work from a broad group of neuroscience nursing and medical contributors and reviewers, reflecting the specialty’s clinical and technological developments.

The publisher notes that nursing practice and treatment recommendations evolve. Readers should verify current medication information, and treatment decisions remain the responsibility of licensed prescribers considering each patient’s circumstances.
