N2  - Families of head-injured patients may respond to the critical nature of the situation with anxiety and cognitive dissociation. This reaction may be classified as an acute stress disorder (ASD). Symptoms may occur 2-28 days after exposure to a traumatic event. Understanding this problem allows nurses to target assessment and interventions that focus on decreasing stress and facilitating coping.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
