Rehabilitation of a paraplegic prisoner: conflicts for patient and nurses.
The most frequent outcome of a physical rehabilitation program is discharge to an independent or assisted-living environment in the community.

This article presents a case study in which conflicts that occurred and strategies for their resolution are discussed.
