Potential for misinterpretation: An everyday problem male nurses encounter in inpatient rehabilitation.

Aims: This study aims to report on the everyday concern of the 'potential for misinterpretation', which was the basic social problem revealed in a grounded theory study exploring male nurse practice in inpatient rehabilitation in Australia.
