Description
This authoritative reference features comprehensive coverage of rehabilitation nursing, with a strong focus on rehabilitation in the community setting and on culturally competent care. Although the primary emphasis is on adults, several chapters also address special considerations for geriatric and pediatric populations. The first two sections cover general concepts and patient/family care in situations involving chronic and disabling conditions. The third section discusses nursing management of selected diagnostic populations such as patients with CVA, spinal cord trauma, burns, and cardiopulmonary problems. An examination of future trends rounds out the coverage.
