How do you perform a basic neurological assessment? 🧠 This quick nursing guide breaks down the essential components of a neuro assessment: 🧠 Level of Consciousness (LOC) – Assess alertness and orientation (A&O ×4) 👁️ Pupils – Check PERRLA and compare pupil size 💪 Motor Function – Assess strength and movement on both sides 🤲 Sensation – Check for numbness, tingling, and loss of sensation 🗣️ Speech & Orientation – Assess speech, comprehension, and ability to follow commands 🚨 Red Flags – Watch for sudden confusion, decreased LOC, unequal pupils, weakness, facial droop, slurred speech, or severe headache Remember: TIME IS BRAIN! Any sudden neurological change should be treated as a medical emergency. Perfect for nursing students, new nurses, NCLEX review, and clinical practice. #Nursing #NursingStudent #NeuroAssessment #NeurologicalAssessment #NCLEX
