Testimonial reviews for Comprehensive Review of Stroke Nursing, 2nd Edition:
"The Comprehensive Review for Stroke Nursing, 2nd edition, is a valuable resource for any nurse caring for patients who have had a stroke. It is also a great resource for those preparing to take the SCRN exam. The content is well laid out, easy to understand, and provides an interdisciplinary approach to stroke nursing care. The case studies are an excellent review of the content and provide a ‘real-life’ application of the content to stroke nursing care. My favorite aspect of this text is the incorporation of nursing-specific interventions and their role in reducing stroke risk through patient education."

“ The pharmacology content of chapter six is extensively updated to emphasize the current medication treatment plans of stroke syndromes. The tables for blood pressure medications and images of coagulation are excellent for visual learners. Additionally, this information will be a great resource in preparing for certification, especially with the SAH linked pharmacology test questions. The provided pharmacology content is coauthored by both pharmacists and nursing. Having a two discipline perspective provides in-depth detail of the medications mechanism of action as well as side effects and critical points for reassessment and laboratory monitoring.“
