Trust us, we have been right where you are and we know the intimidation you might feel when thinking of all the components of caring for patients with this complex diagnosis.Nursing assessment is a crucial piece of the overall puzzle that will determine how the patient is cared for and, ultimately, the outcome of the patient. From the moment a patient arrives to the hospital with strokelike symptoms, all members of the stroke care team begin working on the patients history, obtaining tests, drawing labs, developing a plan, implementing safety measures, carrying out timesensitive orders, and educating the patient and the patients family.This book is a guide for anyone new to caring for stroke patients in the hospital setting. We have used our own nursing and teaching experience to help explain how to assess, anticipate, and prevent complications, and what to expect while caring for anyone who has been admitted to the hospital for a stroke or strokelike symptoms.
