Acute care covers a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries. It is usually of sudden onset and only lasts for a short period of time. It could be a broken arm or leg or even the common cold. Your duties will vary due to the various types of acute illnesses there are.

Acute care is short-term care, people who only need care for a few days or so, like surgery and rehab patients.
