Chapters & learning objectives
1. Endocrine
This chapter reviews endocrine complications, as well as early and late signs for which to monitor in the post-acute care setting. Complications related to the endocrine system such as Addisonian crisis and hyperthyroidism are still possible in these patients. The nurse plays an important role in early recognition and intervention for the patient with an endocrine complication.
2. Shock
The actions of the rehabilitation nurse can be the difference between life and death for the patient in a state of life-threatening shock. Shock is caused by multiple factors, including cardiac, infectious disease, hypovolemia, anaphylaxis, and neurogenic. This chapter reviews the multiple types of shock, as well the role of the rehabilitation nurse in prevention, assessment and intervention.
