Improving Your Rehabilitative Nursing Skills

Description

The aim of rehabilitative nursing is to assist the patient with overcoming disability and chronic illness in the restoration and maintenance of maximum health. That means the goal is not just care-taking, but teaching and reinforcing positive self-awareness so that the resident can live as independently as possible. Exploring the reasons why optimal wellness is critical regardless of disability or illness, this program examines the importance of self-care with the support of nursing assistance and adaptive devices, identifies steps for ensuring proper food and liquid intake, and reviews effective moving, positioning, and handling techniques, especially for patients who have long-term limits to their mobility.
