ACCURATE NEUROLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Hi nurses,

How accurate is your neurological assessment. Do you follow your Glasgow Coma Scale?
Do you pay close attention to whether your patient is awake and alert ?
Do you ask your patient to follow commands ?

Here are some helpful hints for accurate assessment :
Always start your shift with a quick neurological assessment.
Do not forget to document !

Compare your findings with the assessment that was done prior.
If your patient is very lethargic or hard to awaken, notify your
Charge nurse / MD of significant findings.
