1. Nursing Assessment and Planning
Nurses need to recognize the risks associated with care transitions in order to contribute to the transition plan for stroke survivors. The importance of nursing assessment and the nurse’s contribution to the transition plan is described.
2. Care Transitions Models and Resources
Nurses need to understand the resources available for transitioning patients and their caregivers, as well as the Care Transition Models used to guide practice. This chapter reviews evidence-based care transitions models and provider and patient resources to optimize care transitions. Priorities for care transitions for differing stroke severity are described.
