Nursing approach to aphasic patients in emergency services

As a result of an acute neurological damage, many patients may suffer from more or less severe language difficulties. Review of the literature found little research on nursing care for these patients, which led to my aim in communicating to this professional association, everything they need to know about communication with aphasic and / or dysarthric patients. JABEGA catalog was used at the University of Ma laga to locate all items that could help in addressing this type of nursing patients, taking into account also the ethical and legal issues that may arise from other disciplines which are also involved in treating these patients. The purpose of this article is not to rehabilitate speech. There are other disciplines devoted exclusively to it, such as speech and language therapy training. The main aim is to be co-therapists with other involved proffesionals in the rehabilitation of language and neurological damage.
