Feedback:
The nurse can provide intravenous therapy to a client recovering from a stroke at a subacute-care facility. Nursing functions in subacute-care include IV therapy, cardiac monitoring, ventilator care, tube feeding of nutrients, peritoneal dialysis, and management of severe wounds. Therapeutic recreation, reminiscence therapy, and physical rehabilitation are provided for clients in long-term care facilities and not in subacute-care facilities, because they require care for an extended period of time.
