Study Notes
Neurologic Assessment Components
- Components of a neurologic assessment include various aspects of a patient's neurological function
Clinical Manifestations
- Clinical manifestations are observable symptoms or signs of a neurological disorder
- Examples of clinical manifestations include altered mental status, seizures, and weakness
Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
- GCS is a neurological scale that assesses a patient's level of consciousness
- GCS evaluates a patient's eye opening, verbal response, and motor response
- GCS response values range from 3 (severely impaired) to 15 (normal)
Neurological Scales
- Neurological scales assess various aspects of a patient's neurological function
- Examples of neurological scales include the GCS, NIH Stroke Scale, and Rankin Scale
- Scales provide a standardized method of evaluating a patient's neurological status
