Abstract:
The survival of patients in low level neurologic states following traumatic brain injury requires the provision of quality rehabilitation nursing care.

Reaction patterns of family members and the role of the nurse in providing support and therapeutic interventions is also discussed. The importance of astute observation of neurobehavioral responsiveness and subsequent input to the interdisciplinary team is addressed, including discussion of the nurse's core role as an integral member of the team.
