Nursing Diagnosis Handbook

By: Matheson, Ben

Nurses play a crucial role in this process with their frequent physical examinations and attention to bedside monitors. The ability of the medical team to recognize changes in the neurologic exam, which occur in approximately 30% of children during their stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), is necessary for the identification of any new neurologic deficits. Seizures, ischemia, and rising intracranial pressure (ICP) are just a few examples of neurologic insults that can be treated or slowed down with early intervention.
