Nursing Care Measures for Stroke Patients
Disease description:
My friend's mother-in-law has had a stroke, and they have not known how to properly care for her. What are the appropriate nursing measures for stroke patients?

Nursing care for stroke patients should be comprehensive and meticulous, including the following points:
1. Psychological rehabilitation: Stroke often occurs suddenly, and patients commonly experience psychological trauma. Patients should be warmly cared for and comforted, guided to express emotions effectively, encouraged to build confidence, and motivated to cooperate with treatment.
2. Maintenance of limb function: Maintain limbs in functional positions to prevent joint contractures and deformities, such as keeping the upper limbs abducted and externally rotated, and the lower limbs extended. Assistive devices should be used when necessary.
3. Rehabilitation training: Perform limb function training such as standing and walking, as well as rehabilitation training for functions including speech, swallowing, and excretion, according to the patient's condition.
4. Dietary adjustment: Ensure a balanced diet with nutrient-rich foods, while avoiding high-fat and high-sugar foods to prevent recurrence.
5. Condition monitoring: Regularly revisit the hospital to monitor impaired functions and vascular conditions, promptly identifying and managing potential complications.
6. Daily living care: Maintain a quiet, well-ventilated ward with appropriate room temperature. Patients should wear loose and breathable clothing. Body temperature should be closely monitored to prevent complications such as pressure ulcers, pulmonary infection, and deep vein thrombosis.
These measures should be tailored into individualized care plans according to each patient's specific condition and implemented under the guidance of medical staff.
