I am an RN now retired due to MS. One suggestion I have for nursing staff working with MS patients is to allow lots of rest periods between activities. An example would be to have the patient shower or bathe then do not send off to PT. That person will need a rest time. Also, try to do procedures that will involve physical activity early in the day because by mid afternoon your patient will be worn out. Hope this helps a little.
