AbstractA nursing assessment of the patient's neurological status incorporates monitoring of the patient's level of consciousness, pupil reaction and motor function, as well as observation of vital signs. The importance of all these observations, and how the nurse undertakes each stage of the process, is discussed, and the Glasgow Coma Scale is described.
