Abstract

Complications involving the neurologic, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and integumentary systems can be minimized with a vigilant and systematic nursing approach to the quadriplegic patient. This care encompasses both the patient and the significant others. A nurse-coordinated team effort provides for patient and family trust, continuity of care, and better outcomes from these devastating injuries.
