Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience varying symptoms depending on injury severity. Navigating reentry into the community and achieving the highest level of independence requires interdisciplinary planning and implementation. At the point of community reintegration, social workers or community health professionals typically begin to manage care. However, patients living in rural areas may lack access to these healthcare experts. That’s where nurses, who serve in various roles within rural communities, can help fill gaps in care.
