The treatment that the nurse expected of the primary health care provider to prescribe for the patient with a suspected diagnosis of scoliosis is that either the patient will undergo surgery if it’s already severe or the PHCP prescribe to wear a brace. There's different kind of braces to use/worn by the patient in order to correct its posture.
