Produktbeschreibung

Patients with neurological problems are cared for in many settings and nurses involved in neuroscience practice, education and research are located in a variety of different contexts. Neuroscience Nursing is a comprehensive, practical text that reflects both the richness and the diversity of contemporary neuroscience nursing. This important text provides a critique of the available evidence underpinning practice, including evidence based guidelines developed by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, and the NSF for Long Term Conditions. Each chapter contains the relevant anatomy & physiology, epidemiology, learning outcomes, assessment skills and evidence-based nursing management guidance. Divided into 8 comprehensive sections, section 1 looks at the anatomy & physiology of the nervous system. Section 2 explores the asessment, interpretation and managemetn of specific problems in the neurological patient including altered motor & sensory function, altered speech and cranial nerve dysfunction. Section 3 covers management of intracranial disorders and disease, while section 4 addresses the nursing management of long-term conditions, such as Motor Neuron Disease, Multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, management of intracranial disorders, spinal disorders, and disease of peripheral nerves. The management of head and spine trauma, and spinal disorders and disease are discussed in sections 5 & 6 and the management of disorders and the disease of peripheral nerves is covere din section 7. Finally, section 8 explores the fundamental concepts of neuroscience nursing, including legal and ethical issues, and dilemmas and challenges that nurses working in this field might face. Aimed at student and qualified nurses working with people with neurological problems in a wide variety of settings, Neuroscience Nursing is an invaluable tool for nurses who want to keep up to date and improve their practice.
