    Nurses are crucial in identifying and managing perceptual dysfunctions, such as one-sided neglect and apraxia, to aid patient independence. Early nursing interventions complement occupational therapy, improving recovery outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Nursing Science
    • Rehabilitation Therapy

    Background:

    • Perceptual dysfunction significantly impedes patient independence and recovery.
    • Nurses are integral to identifying perceptual deficits and implementing supportive interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the role of nurses in managing perceptual dysfunction.
    • To discuss common categories of perceptual dysfunction, focusing on one-sided neglect and apraxia.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common perceptual dysfunctions.
    • Discussion of assessment data and nursing interventions for one-sided neglect and apraxia.
    • Brief description of agnosia and visual-spatial relationship problems.

    Main Results:

    • Identified four common categories of perceptual dysfunction.
    • Detailed assessment and nursing interventions for one-sided neglect and apraxia.
    • Outlined the relationship between visual deficits and perceptual dysfunction.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses play a vital role in the identification and management of perceptual dysfunction.
    • Nursing interventions should complement occupational therapy for optimal patient recovery.
    • Understanding various perceptual deficits is key to effective patient care.
