Answer to Question 1

Props to you, cheers.

Answer to Question 2

2
Spinal cord injuries create a very intensive nursing situation for clients. It is one of the few conditions in which the need for nursing care is generally much greater than the need for medical care after the acute phase of recovery. Medical care is, of course, needed more during the acute phase of recovering from the injury. Physical therapy is one aspect of care that the client will need going forward; however, it is not as intensive as the nursing care required. Spiritual care may be needed once the client realizes that the ability to walk or function without assistance will not occur.
