Acute Stroke Nursing by J Williams
Acute Stroke Nursing provides an evidence-based, practical text facilitating the provision of optimal stroke care during the primary prevention, acute and continuing care phases. It explores the causes, symptoms and effects of stroke and provides guidance on issues such as nutrition, continence, positioning, mobility and carer support.
Although aimed at acute stroke services, this book provides a good basis for members of the multidisciplinary team, especially all medical and neuroscience nurses.. This book will be applicable to healthcare professionals for many years. (Primary Health Care, 1 July 2011) This will certainly be the first place I turn for future stroke-related technique. (Nursing Older People, 1 November 2010)
