Cognitive systems: nursing assessment and management in the critical care environment.
In-depth knowledge of cognitive systems allows the critical care nurse to incorporate that information into an expanded assessment. This in-depth nursing assessment enables the nurse to identify intact and deficient cognitive systems and quantify the deficits. Astute assessment is fundamental to planning appropriate interventions and permits more specific deficit-related interventions by the critical care nurse.
