Description
We will take an in-depth look at our patients through the "eyes of the therapist" and determine how nurses can best utilize those skills when assessing their patients. Using "Therapy Eyes", nurses will become more skilled at determining their patient's functional status and the therapy services needed for a successful clinical outcome. Using the creative ideas presented in this course, even your most difficult patients will be more easily convinced to utilize available therapy services.
