title: Using vignettes to teach stroke care.
abstract: Although nurses are best placed to meet the needs of patients with stroke and their carers, evidence suggests they are inadequately prepared for this role. This article discusses the use of vignettes as a teaching and learning tool to develop pre-registration student nurses' knowledge of stroke management. An evaluation found they could be a useful learning tool for use throughout the nurse education programme.
