The Rehabilitation Nurse in the Home Health Care Setting

The primary goals of home health care nursing and rehabilitation nursing are strikingly similar. Rehabilitation nursing principles should guide home health care nurses as they formulate and deliver quality patient care. Home health care agencies eager to keep up with the emerging trends in health care delivery are encouraged to recruit and hire rehabilitation nurses. This article discusses the principles of rehabilitation nursing and demonstrates, with case examples, how these principles can be applied to the home setting and, consequently, can improve patient outcomes.

Key Words: home health care • patient care, rehabilitation nursing
