9 questions to ask patient after seizure
- What seem to initiate seizure
- What body part does seizure start from
- What happen befre seizure
- Lose bladder control when seizure?
- How often?
- How do you feel after?
- Take any precaution?
- Wear medical alert band?
- Take medication afterwards?
Questions related to CNS to ask patient
Any head/ spinal cord injury/ trauma/ sugery?
past hx. of meningitis/ encephalitis/ spinalcord injury/ herniated intervertebral disc/ epilepsy? Any treatment?
Rationale of asking patient: Any head/ spinal cord injury/ trauma/ sugery?
Baseline for physica assessment
might affect patient current mental state, cognitive function, sensation
Rationale for asking patient: past hx. of meningitis/ encephalitis/ spinalcord injury/ herniated intervertebal disc/ epilepsy? Any treatment?
these disease increase risk of mucoskeletal problem & loss of sensation
5 neuro checks
- Level of Consciousness
- Pupillary checks
- Strength & movement of extremeties
- Extremeties sensation
- v/s
2 neurological scales
- Glasgow Coma Scale: unstale pt, severity of head injury & if loss of consciousness
- MoCa (Montreal Cognitive Assessment): stable pt
GCS 3 ranges of score:
mild: 13-15
moderate: 9-12
Severe: 8-3
Lowest score to highest score can be obtained in GCS
3-15
Nursing interventoin regarding GCS
> 15: require immediate alert
8: considered coma
What is normal score in GCS
15/15
GCS: 3 columns
Eye-opening, verbal, motor
GCS: eye-opening levels
- spontaneously
- respond to verbal command
- respond when pain applied to limbs/ sternum
- none
GCS: verbal levels
- oriented
- disoriented, able to answer questions
- inappropriate answers, understandable words
- uncomprehensible sounds
- none
GCS: motor levels
- obey verbal commands
- respond pain with purposeful movement
- withdraw pain
- respond to pain with abnormal flexion
- respond to pain with abnoral extention
- none
4 neurological domain to be checked in MoCA
- Attention
- Executive learning & language
- Memory
- Orientation
examples of conditions suitable for MoCA
dementia, transient ischemic attack, stoke
