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.
1, Rehabilitation goal for independent mobilization for
paraplegic patients during the chronic period is ambulation and
exercise to prevent joint contracture, loss of muscle strength,
bone density and promote normal function of the respiratory and
digestive system. Rehabilitation program involve patient family,
occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist, dietician,
social worker, speech therapist, etc. T6 spinal cord injury
involves abdominal and back muscle results paraplegia. patients
develop with autonomic dysreflexia. ROM exercise can maintain
functional capacity. exercise with stretching of the upper
extremity as a goal to make patient for sitting up in the bed or a
wheelchair, dressing, and transfer, it means only bed movement as
an initial stage. wheelchair makes optimal mobility prevent bed
sore and make normal anatomical position. A battery wheelchair will
be an appropriate goal to prevent spasticity to prevent DVT, bowel
and bladder movement and osteoporosis. walkers, crutches, and
orthoses in chronic stage ambulation will be helpful for walk
independently at home. C8 -T12 injury ambulation achieved by
parawalker hip guidance, it will be lightweight and easy to move.
robotic training improves functional outcome with subacute spinal
cord injury patients. The occupational therapist can assess patient
limitations and activity plans.
2, Psychological outcomes for patient with spinal cord injury to
handle their disability. the process of confrontation with
disability in spinal cord injury patients at risk for dependency,
side effects of medicine, drug addiction, lack of support from
society and family..patients with spinal cord injury live with the
disability for long period. disability diagnosed as the main
psychosocial problem difficult to perform daily activity...support
level includes spiritual and religious beliefs, self-esteem and
self-confidence by physicians, nurse and social workers, a family
can help them to achieve their dependency. support the concept and
improve psychosocial aspects help personal promotion and family
situation. The grief process supports their emotional ability.
kubler-ross stages can help the patient to overcome their
feelings.
Nursing intervention:
- monitor cardiovascular and respiratory function
- avoid infection and further complication
- Maintain patient headend least at 30-degree elevation
- Avoid pressure sore, DVT, spasticity by mobilization, ROM, and
exercises with the help of physiotherapist.
-monitor patient intake and output
- once the patient medically stable prepare the patient for social
and rehabilitation support
- help the patient with ADLs
- provide health education regarding nutrition, mobility, oral
care, and skin care, etc.
-explain the drug regimen to patients for the followup

level of spinal cord injury and rehabilitation potential
Nursing care plan for patient who is immobile,have bed sore and spinal cord injury?
A 14-year-old girls in the intensive care unit after a spinal cord injury 2 days ago Which nursing care interventions are needed for this child (Select all that apply)? Monitoring and maintaining systemic blood pressure. Administering corticosteroids. Preventing long-term deficits due to spinal cord injury. Monitoring for respiratory complications
Extra Credit. You are a patient with a spinal cord injury and your doctor recommends you try therapeutic cloning to repair the damage. Answer the following questions about the processes involved. (5 points) A. What does SCNT stand for? Describe the process thoroughly. B. Describe how SCNT could be used to treat your problem (a spinal cord injury)? C. Embryos from fertilization clinics are discarded every day. Why does SCNT need to be used instead of isolating embryonic stem cells...
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.

.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. and describe how the patient experienced both primary and secondary injuries. Be sure to describe symptoms, implications, and testing...
