00:00 Let's wrap up this video series. 00:03 A nursing neuro assessment can include level of consciousness, mentation, pupillary response, movement, sensation and reflexes. 00:12 And now with good practice, you'll know how to assess each one of those areas. 00:16 Remember, it's more useful to describe the patient's behavior and responses to stimuli than to just use terms that are like "lethargic" or "obtunded" that might be misunderstood. 00:27 Any negative changes in mentation or level of consiousness are early signs of possible neurological deterioration and an elevated ICP. 00:36 So remember, if anyone who knows the patient well tells you they're acting differently, take that very seriously. 00:44 Thank you for watching our video series today.
The lecture Neurological Assessment: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Prof. Lawes is from the course Neurological Assessment (Nursing) .
