Great idea...where are you from?

As best I can figure...someone asked the OP something to the effect of "Does Mr. Smith need ________ care?" and the OP is looking for the word that fits the blank. Some random words I can think of include rehab, wound, palliative, etc. Unfortunately, without more info. it will be impossible to fill in the blank. My guess, as someone else already mentioned, is that this is not the US or Canada, so the blank may be a term with which the majority of nurses on AN are unfamiliar.

Basic, bedside, boo-boo, bariatric ... ? OP, where are you? Please help us out here.
Comment:
Are they talking about acuity based on a scale of A-F with A being the least Acute and F being the most Acute. An acuity of A would be a patient that is almost completely independent needing very little nursing care and F being a patient that is probably in ICU needing 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 nursing care with lots of interventions (vent, feeding tube, lots of IV drips, unstable). This is all I've got, if this isn't what you are talking about I have no idea.
