Nursing Resources

The American Association of Neurological Nursing published an online resource on the care of ischemic stroke occurrence. This source is immensely thorough, and provides all the details of care that a nurse may need to know, in an easy-to-reference format. It's main sections include things such as procedures, interventions, education (for both patient and family), expected outcomes, evidence based practice, and innovate practice, among other things. This is a highly helpful resource when developing a nursing plan of care for ischemic stroke.

Many times, stroke occurrence can't be prevented once symptoms occur--stroke generally isn't asymptomatic. However, nursing care post-discharge can heavily influence stroke reoccurrence and the success of rehabilitation. American Nurse Today presents a thorough article articulating strategies that are effective in this recovery, and many aspects of nursing care that should be considered. It promotes the ideas of individualization, self-care, and patient education as just a few topics within many.
