Patient's question:
I've been feeling a bit dizzy and not sharp lately. I went to the hospital and found out it was a cerebral infarction. The doctor prescribed some medication for me and after a course of treatment, I started feeling a bit better. So, what are the nursing issues for cerebral infarction after that?Doctor's answer:
The late-stage nursing care for cerebral infarction primarily refers to secondary prevention. During secondary prevention, on one hand, it involves lifestyle interventions, and on the other hand, it involves clinical diagnosis and medication. Lifestyle interventions mainly mean paying attention to diet in daily life, eating less high-fat foods, and avoiding smoking and alcohol while implementing adequate physical exercise. Clinical diagnosis and medication primarily involve the use of blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing therapies, anticoagulants, and comprehensive treatment based on the evaluation of brain cell nutrition.
