1. Identify the rehabilitation potential of the patient with T6 spinal cord injury 2. Describe the mourning process and nursing interventions for patients with spinal cord injury.
Consider the impact of spinal cord injury and the potential scope of lifetime disability and sequelae associated with spinal cord injury. The greatest challenge facing the neuroscience community involves developing therapy that will allow damaged nerve tissue to be regrown and regenerated. Reflect discuss the importance of Schwann cells and their impact on damaged axons.

-A patient has experienced a spinal cord injury at the T8 level. Which objective assessment data are associated with such trauma? (Select all that apply.) Hyperalgesia extending from the nipple line downward Anesthesia extending from the waist downward Hyperesthesia extending from the clavicles downward Analgesia extending from the waist downward Anesthesia extending from the hips downward -A patient who experienced a spinal cord injury is now undergoing passive range-of-motion (ROM) exercises to help maintain joint motion. The nurse will include...
Primary spinal cord injury involves damage to vertebral or neural tissues from compression, traction, or shearing forces. Secondary spinal cord injury is related to ischemia, excitotoxicity, inflammation, edema, oxidative damage, and activation of necrotic and apoptotic cell death; it begins within minutes after injury and continues for weeks. Please describe an example of both a primary and secondary spinal cord injury. Some learners will use the same injury, such as a fall off of a horse, and describe how the...

The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client with a spinal cord injury at C5 who has an indwelling urethral catheter. Which of the following would be a priority for the nurse to include in the plan of care?
Spinal Cord Injury Case Study Name: ____________________________ 10 points total (1 point per answer, 0.25 points per reference for each question) Patient Profile: M.P, a 19-year-old African American male, has a spinal cord injury following a gunshot wound 2 weeks ago. The gunshot injury occurred during a hunting accident when his best friend’s gun accidently discharged. His injury is at the T5 level. The goal is to prepare him for transfer to a rehabilitation unit in the next few days. Subjective...
