Rehabilitation and long-term management of the spinal cord injured adult.

Rehabilitation and long-term care of the spinal cord injured adult must be oriented toward prevention, be patient and family centered, and transcend all geographic settings. The nurse is a key coordinator and provider of care, as well as a facilitator of patient adaptation. The nurse involved in the care of the spinal cord injured adult must be knowledgeable in the rehabilitation and long-term care considerations essential to the reintegration and well-being of this population.

Ethical analysis of health care reform: implications for diverse communities.

The values driving nursing's political actions and the ethics underlying proposed health system change have not yet been thoroughly examined. This article attempts to (a) clarify ethical issues surrounding the health care debate in the United States, (b) describe the conflicts surrounding proposed reform especially the effects on disadvantaged communities and (c) earnestly entreat a critical discussion of nursing's humanistic position on health care reform. The interaction between the nursing literature and the various proposals on health care reform suggest various themes that reflect ethical issues due to conflicts in values. Our analysis is based on the belief that, in addition to political action and lobbying, the nursing community must confront critical questions about the values driving its policy making.
