How Can Nurses Support Patients with Nervous System Disorders?
Nurses play a vital role in the care of patients with nervous system disorders. This includes:
- Assessment: Regular monitoring of neurological status using tools like the Glasgow Coma Scale. - Education: Informing patients and families about the condition and management strategies. - Medication Management: Administering drugs that affect nerve transmission, such as anticonvulsants or anticholinesterases. - Rehabilitation: Assisting with physical therapy to improve functional outcomes.
