The nursing of common neurological diseases involves many aspects, including daily routines, diet, and basic safety care. These are all areas that need attention as they relate to the physical recovery of patients. Now, let's take a closer look at the routine nursing practices for common neurological diseases that caregivers should be mindful of. Firstly, resting and sleep positioning are essential. In general, patients with critical illnesses need to rest in bed. However, for patients with chronic degenerative diseases, it is recommended to encourage them to get up and move around slightly, which can be beneficial for their recovery. If there is an increase in respiratory secretions, patients should sleep in a semi-recumbent position with their head tilted to one side. Secondly, it is crucial to observe the patient's condition closely, including their consciousness, pupil size, body temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. Any significant changes or accompanying symptoms such as convulsions should be reported to the doctor promptly to ensure appropriate responses. Furthermore, even patients should prioritize personal hygiene. Maintaining the cleanliness of their mouths, skin, and other areas is essential. Assisting patients with handwashing before and after meals, as well as regular bathing, foot washing, hair washing, and haircuts, can create a refreshing environment and promote personal hygiene, which is beneficial for the patient's physical and mental health.
