Stroke Patient. A Comprehensive Guide
Description
Besides being the third leading cause of death in the United States, stroke is a major cause of disability-so rehabilitation care, while varying according to the extent of brain damage, is vital to any stroke patient. This program illustrates how an aneurysm impacts the mind and body and reveals practical approaches a nurse or health support specialist can take to counter the effects of stroke, which include language disorders such as aphasia and dysphagia; deficits in sight, hearing, and mobility; and extensive emotional complications. Viewers also learn about prevention against another stroke and helping patients resume a lifestyle that is as active, productive, and independent as possible.
