Rehabilitation nursing involves a wide variety of activities that includes monitoring the status of each patient's medical conditions as well as their treatment. Nurses also reinforce the mobility and activities of daily living training that is done by physical therapy and occupational therapy. They also monitor appropriate bowel and bladder function, help maintain skin integrity, monitor nutritional status, educate the patient and family regarding their medical condition, and assess the patient's ability to perform the required medical and functional treatment regimens before discharge.
