Susan E Wilson et al. Nurs Clin North Am. 2023 Sep.

Abstract

Within the United States, someone will have a stroke approximately every 40 seconds. Eighty-five percent of strokes are ischemic, with 15% classified as either intracranial or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Stroke care is complex, and nurses play a critical role in identification, assessment, management, and coordination throughout the stroke continuum of care. This article will explore the nursing care of the patient with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke during the first 24 hours.

Keywords: Acute hospital nursing care; Hemorrhage; Ischemic; Stroke; Subarachnoid.
