Acute Care Physical Therapy Exam
Questions
Course Introduction
Acute Care Physical Therapy focuses on the assessment and management of patients in hospital settings who are experiencing sudden or severe health issues, such as after surgery, injury, or medical emergencies. The course introduces students to the principles of acute care, including patient evaluation, treatment planning, and intervention techniques aimed at promoting mobility, functional recovery, and prevention of complications. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary collaboration, safety considerations, early mobilization, and discharge planning, preparing students to deliver effective physical therapy interventions in fast-paced and complex acute care environments.
