Features: The book is divided into three parts. The first part is the General Introduction to Neurology, including the setup and management of neurology wards, common nursing techniques in neurology, common diagnostic and treatment techniques and nursing coordination, an overview of neurology nursing (including anatomical and physiological characteristics of the nervous system, nursing care for common neurological symptoms and emergencies, common medications and nursing precautions, nutritional and rehabilitation nursing for patients, etc.), and clinical nursing education and on-the-job training for nurses. The second part covers the nursing care of neurological diseases. The third part covers the nursing care of neurosurgical diseases. For the nursing care of patients with various diseases, it is presented in the following order: overview (definition, age of onset, incidence, etiology and pathogenesis, main clinical manifestations and prognosis, etc.) → nursing assessment → treatment principles → common nursing problems → nursing measures. This integrates basic theory and clinical skills, eliminating the need to consult multiple books. The nursing assessment is based on clinical thinking, highlighting the specialty characteristics and focusing on the observation of conditions that nurses can address and should pay attention to. The nursing measures are described according to different stages such as preoperative and postoperative care, covering general nursing, dietary nursing, symptom nursing, medication nursing, psychological nursing, and discharge guidance. For difficult-to-understand theoretical and skill sections, detailed illustrations are provided to emphasize key points and challenges, enabling readers to understand not only "what" but also "why." In summary, the authors aim to guide nurses in the neurology department to systematically master the theory and operational skills of neurology nursing through this book, enabling them to perform predictive nursing and achieve a professional nursing service standard.
