title: Interventions related to neurologic care.
abstract: Patient outcomes in the neuroscience patient population can be optimized by appropriate and timely selection of nursing actions and interventions. This study is contributing to the advancement of neuroscience nursing by identifying 13 intervention labels with more than 300 activities to be used in the planning and delivery of care of these patients. Implications for further research are multiple, including a need for clinical research regarding the appropriateness and effectiveness of the items as well as establishing the frequency with which these items occur in clinical practice.
