Abstract
In the acute phase of stroke, the brain is particularly vulnerable to complications, which may reduce the potential for neuronal recovery and the success of rehabilitation. Nurses are best placed to provide early and rapid intervention following stroke to save lives and reduce the damage caused. This article outlines common problems in the acute phase of stroke and uses the mnemonic ‘brain attack’ to help guide nurses in the management of patients with stroke.
