Feedback:
The nurse cares for clients recovering from extensive surgery in a subacute-care setting. Clients who do not require hospitalization are provided care in a medically complex nursing unit. Nurses in skilled nursing facilities provide care for clients requiring physical rehabilitation, because they have to stay for an extended period. Clients who are mentally challenged also require an extended care facility and are not cared for in a subacute-care facility.
