Abstract:
The overall outcome for every patient is to attain the maximum level of physical and psychosocial functioning possible within their capacity. This is individualized and impacted by the severity of injury, interventions, and subsequent outcomes along the critical path to recovery. Identification of issues, whether physical or psychosocial, in a timely manner and the development of an individualized plan of care maximize the quality of care each patient receives. As the health care giver in most frequent contact with the patient and family, the nurse must serve as the coordinator of all ancillary services and the plan of care.
