Guide to the Care of the Hospitalized Patient with Ischemic Stroke,
2nd Edition: AANN Clinical Practice Guideline Series
The Guide to the Care of the Hospitalized Patient with Ischemic Stroke is designed to assist registered nurses, patient-care units, and institutions in providing safe and effective care to hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke. The goal of the guideline is to provide background on the impact, etiology, pathophysiology, assessment, monitoring, and treatment of ischemic stroke. Implications for initial and ongoing nursing assessment and management of the hospitalized patient with ischemic stroke also are discussed. The guideline translates the latest research into an easy-to-use reference and provides nurses with a tool to help them deliver optimum-quality, patient-focused care for this patient population.
This guideline is available as a free download from the AANN Web site, www.AANN.org. Readers can also earn continuing education credit by completing and passing the online examination.
