Abstract
RATIONALE
The standardization, individualization, and rationalization of intensive care and treatment for severe patients have improved. However, the combination of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and cerebral infarction presents new challenges beyond routine nursing care.
PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSES
This paper examines the rehabilitation nursing of patients with both COVID-19 and cerebral infarction as an example. It is necessary to develop a nursing plan for COVID-19 patients and implement early rehabilitation nursing for cerebral infarction patients.
INTERVENTIONS
Timely rehabilitation nursing intervention is essential to enhance treatment outcomes and promote patient rehabilitation. After 20 days of rehabilitation nursing treatment, patients showed significant improvement in visual analogue scale score, drinking test, and upper and lower limb muscle strength.
OUTCOMES
Treatment outcomes for complications, motor function, and daily activities also improved significantly.
LESSONS
Critical care and rehabilitation specialist care play a positive role in ensuring patient safety and improving their quality of life by adapting measures to local conditions and the timing of care.
