| Popis: | Acute stroke assessment is classically supported by clinical localization whereby presenting disabilities are associated with key arterial territories in the brain. Clinical localization skills are rarely taught to nonneurologists; yet, these skills are essential to the provision of evidence-based nursing care of stroke, enabling rapid patient identification, diagnosis, and ultimately, the delivery of acute treatment. This article explores the process of clinical localization in relation to the physiology affected by stroke vascular insufficiency. Elements of the neurologic examination are described as they relate to discreet areas in the brain and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. |
