In the U.S. someone has a CVA approximately every 40 seconds and someone dies from a CVA about every 4 minutes. The high frequency of CVA occurrence signals the importance of advanced stroke knowledge in rehabilitation nurses. This course provides in depth training on the epidemiology, risk factors and pathophysiology of CVA along with assessment and intervention priorities when caring for stroke patients. Since falls are one of the most frequent complications in stroke rehabilitation, the course includes a case study on reducing fall risk in the inpatient rehabilitation setting.
