MedSurg II Neurologic Emergencies Compass Cards + Audio Companion

Neurologic Emergencies Compass Cards and Audio Companion supports focused Med-Surg II review with 18 visual cards and matching audio. Each card helps you recognize a pattern, connect the assessment clues, identify the priority and decide when escalation is needed.

The set covers the neurologic first look, focused assessment, GCS trends, increased intracranial pressure and herniation. Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke cards lead into treatment safety, seizure safety and status epilepticus.

CNS infection, traumatic brain injury, epidural versus subdural bleeding, spinal cord injury, shock comparisons and autonomic dysreflexia extend the review. A neuromuscular respiratory crisis comparison and final priority matrix help you connect similar emergencies with their immediate safety needs.

The Audio Companion offers spoken review of the matching card subjects. Listen to revisit the reasoning, then use the cards to check details and recall the priorities without looking. Pair the formats according to your study routine.

This digital product includes the Compass Cards PDF and matching Audio Companion. The Trail Guide, Retrieval Maps and Campfire Challenges are part of the Trail Kit. The set is a study companion and does not replace clinical instruction, course texts or facility protocols.
