Nursing
Rehabilitation nurses adopt a wellness model of care and have the ability to see ‘the big picture’. Their approach sees nurses focus on a the person’s abilities rather than focusing on disabilities.
Rehabilitation nurses use a repertoire of skills best described as the seven domains of practice that intertwine, including:
- The rehabilitative approach
- The teaching and coaching role
- Observation, assessment and interpretation
- Administering and monitoring therapeutic interventions
- Management of rapidly changing situations
- Management, advocacy and coordination
- Monitoring and ensuring quality of health practices
