Starting with the stroke unit, this volume describes care in a treatment team for patients with stroke. It provides nursing professionals with the knowledge they need about the development of ischemic stroke and prophylaxis against it, enabling them to provide competent care and counselling for the individuals affected throughout the entire duration of the disease. On the basis of medical and nursing theory, the nursing problems involved in common stroke symptoms are covered, along with the more subtle limitations that play an important role in enabling patients to communicate and return to everyday life. Nursing and therapeutic aspects are supplemented with information on sociolegal issues and early neurological rehabilitation. Delirium, neuropsychology, palliative care and interprofessional team training are also presented here for the first time. Information about the international situation and professional development rounds out this third edition.
