Abstract:

The brain is an organ in a jar, or better yet a pitcher with an amazing spout that fills all the glasses awaiting their stimulating neurological drink. Many nurses recognize the brain is enclosed in the skull, a feature that results in increased intracranial pressure or pressure on one part of the brain by excess fluid or tissue in another place within the skull. The purpose of this presentation is to clarify the care needs of a person with a brain tumor. Personal hygiene, nutrition, hydration and mobility interventions are routinely needed. A head-to-toe assessment related to the neurological system will be described with a few methods of neurological monitoring explained. Psycho-social care needs for the person with a brain tumor will also be discussed.
