The content will have to be based on:

journal articles and textbooks
3. recommendations to apply to clinical practices in nursing field
I have to state the current practices in the neurology department of nursing this group of patients and what are the current challenges faced and relate.
I work in a surgical general ward. so I have to relate to. if I have such patient overflow in my ward for preop/post-op after stepdown from neurology ICA to General
Ward, what and how can the nurses take care & monitor this patient? if it is a new staff nurse or not neuro trained, what should and could be educated?
2 areas to focus on will be:
