Index

Pdf Summary

This excerpt is an alphabetical index to a comprehensive neuroscience and neurological nursing reference. It spans foundational topics—including nervous system anatomy, cellular physiology, development, neurotransmission, and neurological assessment—as well as diagnostic tests, imaging, monitoring, and clinical scales.<br /><br />Major clinical areas include traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries; ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke; seizures and epilepsy; altered consciousness and brain death; infections; hydrocephalus and other pressure disorders; brain and spinal tumors; movement, neuromuscular, and peripheral nerve disorders; pain and headaches; sleep disorders; and neurological conditions in children and older adults. The index also covers spinal and peripheral nerve problems, rehabilitation, perioperative care, temperature management, and nursing interventions.<br /><br />Additional entries address neuroendocrine and electrolyte disorders, ethics and end-of-life decisions, patient and caregiver support, and complementary therapies. Numerous medications, procedures, assessment tools, anatomical structures, and rehabilitation services are listed with page references, making the excerpt a navigation aid rather than a narrative discussion of these subjects.
