The document outlines the steps and components of a neurological examination. It includes obtaining a comprehensive health history, performing a physical exam testing vital signs, cranial nerves, motor skills, coordination, and reflexes. Neurological exams also involve assessing the patient's mental status and administering tests of sensation. The goal is to gather clinical information about any neurological abnormalities through a standardized exam process.

this will definately going to be useful for bsc nursing students, msc nursing students, and i hope this will make you understand what is neurological examination is all about
A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired.
cerebrovascular accident, commonly known as stroke is one of the most common health problems of the world. in the developing world, its increasing incidence is a matter of concern among the health workers across the globe. thus adequate knowledge about this medical condition is a must to deal with it effectively.
Dementia consists of verity of symptoms that suggest chronic dysfunction. Global impairment of intellect is the essential feature, manifested as difficulty with memory, attention, thinking, and comprehension
Approximately 15% of people with dementia have reversible illness if treatment is initiated before irreversible damage takes place.

this topic is about sleep, stages of sleep, types of sleep, factors influencing sleep, sleep disorders and their management and various interventions to promote sleep
A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired. This typically includes a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history, but not deeper investigation such as neuroimaging.
