Caring for patients with stroke can be challenging; when a stroke is occurring, it is imperative to distinguish the symptoms from other diagnoses. Determining the type and location of stroke is yet another difficulty. Further challenges are met with treatment and rehabilitation. 

To help you manage these complex issues, we’ve created a Focus On: Stroke collection, which is comprised of journal content, as well as the following special features:

• PowerPoint Slides: New Windows, Same Old House: An Update on Acute Stroke Management – Use these slides to increase your own understanding, as well as educate staff, students, and other members of the interdisciplinary team. 
• Take 5: Alteplase – Keep this resource handy to help you understand the indications, administration, adverse reactions, nursing considerations, and more critical drug information for alteplase. 
• Three podcasts from an expert presentation at Nursing2013 Symposium 
  • Acute Stroke – Taking a History 
  • Acute Stroke – Blood Pressure Management 
  • Acute Stroke – Treatment 

Each item in this collection is only $1.99, or you can purchase the entire collection together with the Powerpoint slides, podcasts, and the Take5 for only $19.99 (doesn’t include CE).  

I hope you’ll take some time to explore this collection! Have a question or comment? Please feel free to connect with me here on the blog by leaving a comment or you can email me at [email protected].
