Challenges of Nursing Care Plan for Guillain-Barre Syndrome: A Review of Literature
Abstract
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) affects physical and psychosocial deficits and affects about 2 people in 100,000 each year. The syndrome causes peripheral nerve demyelination, which leads to gradual motor weakening and paralysis. This section should provide the nursing care plan with an overview of Guillain-Barré syndrome. The pathogenesis of the syndrome, manifestation presentation, phase nurse assessments and administration, and present therapy choices are all covered. The goal of this article is to provide a review of the nursing care plan for GBS patients.
