The acute phase occurs in the first 24 hours after surgery, injury, or serious illness. The person is acutely ill and needs constant observation and care. This would include emptying urine from an indwelling catheter and recording output, and weighing the surgical client and reporting changes in their weight. During the chronic phase of rehabilitation, the nursing assistant should help the resident to properly use their crutches. The nursing assistant should observe the client feeding themselves with an assistive device, but not use it to feed the client. The nursing assistant should promote the client's independence.
