=Return from the Sanatorium.= When a patient returns from a sojourn in an institution, he may or may not be better, but he has certainly received a liberal education in what to do, and how to take care of himself. Often, however, he is totally unable to apply this knowledge, or to adapt his home environment to his needs. So carefully is the institutional life planned, and so smoothly does he fit into it, that he has no conception of the time and thought that have gone into this planning. When he comes home, he knows theoretically what to do, but in comparison with the institution his home surroundings seem so poor and so inadequate, that he becomes hopelessly bewildered and confused. It is at this point that the nurse has her great opportunity. She teaches him to apply what he has learned, and how he may approximate sanatorium conditions and routine. She goes to work much as she does upon her first visit to the home, but this time she is working in a soil already ploughed. The patient himself may be almost as helpless, but he will follow suggestions, and co-operate with an intelligent enthusiasm gained through his sanatorium education. =Work for the Arrested Case.= When a patient returns from the sanatorium able to work, the question of employment is a serious one. Our experience has been that of Dr. Lyman:[8] as a rule, unless it is an exceedingly injurious employment, it is better to let him return to his former occupation than to seek a new one. He understands his old work, and for this reason it will be easier for him than one to which he is unaccustomed. The difficulty of finding suitable employment for arrested cases, and the number of relapses that occur in consequence, serve once more to emphasize the value of prevention rather than cure.
