Abstract
Neurological assessment includes a general physical examination pertaining to nervous system and a detailed neurological examination. The purpose of neurological assessment in medical surgical nursing perspective is to establish a nursing diagnosis to guide the nurse in planning and implementing nursing measures to help the patient cope effectively with daily living activities, and monitor progression of the condition and gauge the patient’s response to intervention. The frequency of neurological assessments depends on the patients’ admitting diagnosis, the presence of any chronic neurological disorders and the current functioning of the patient’s neurologic functions. However the information gathered in each assessment must be consistently communicated to all staff involved in the patient care. The content of the neurological assessment will guide nursing teachers and students to proceed the examination stepwise without any confusions and will assist in guiding the pathway to reach the goal.
