title: [Caring for patients with cranial trauma: a new approach demonstrated in a case study].
abstract: Until recently, the effects of a minor head injury have been minimalized by health care workers. Few resources have been available to individuals who experienced a mild traumatic brain injury who were discharged from hospital emergency services. Recognizing the needs of these individuals and their families, health care workers in Nova Scotia, including nurses, have developed a specific program of rehabilitation for patients who have suffered mild brain injuries.
