Fundamentals of Neurological Assessment

A neurological assessment is a vital nursing skill used to evaluate the function and integrity of the nervous system and detect early signs of deterioration. It includes assessing the level of consciousness using the Glasgow Coma Scale and AVPU, as well as monitoring intracranial pressure. Establishing a baseline, monitoring for subtle changes, and documenting and reporting abnormalities promptly are essential nursing responsibilities to ensure early intervention and patient safety.
