This text provides nurses and healthcare providers caring for neurologic patients with the in-depth knowledge of neurophysiology, neuroassessment, and neuromanagement needed to ensure that care is delivered in accordance with best practices. Focusing on the importance of an interdidisciplinary health care team, each neurologic condition or disorder is discussed in a comprehensive, logical format. The text emphasizes the all-important role of the neuroscience nurse and the critical aspects of the core knowledge required to function effectively in multiple clinical settings. The second edition includes a new chapter on critical care management. For each disorder, content has been added or expanded to cover Geriatric Considerations, Case Management, Patient/Family Teaching, Rehabilitation, Nutritional Considerations and Psychosocial Aspects of care.
