December 2018

Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical editor Betsy Todd present the highlights of the December issue of AJN.

Our second CE, “Managing Movement Disorders: A Clinical Review,” discusses the pathophysiology and assessment of three different, common neuromuscular disorders—muscle tightness, spasticity, and clonus—as well as the treatment options for each.

In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more
