Based on the relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation for quasielastic ({rvec p},{rvec p}{sup {prime}}) and ({rvec p},{rvec n}) polarization observables, we provide quantitative estimates of nuclear medium modifications of the NN interaction. We employ a {sup 40}Ca target for proton energies ranging from 135 to 300 MeV at a momentum transfer of 1.97 fm{sup {minus}1}. Compared to former calculations, we have generated new meson-exchange parameters for the relativistic NN amplitudes between 80 and 200 MeV. Finally, the results are compared to the limited available data. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
