1. 2. 3.
Definition
muscles
bones
nervous system
Term
factors that affect mobility (7)
Definition
developmental stage
nutrition
lifestyle
environmental factors
socioeconomic factors
disease and abnormalities
body mechanics
Term
nursing responsibilities concerning mobility
Definition
assess mobility status and needs
utilize good body mechanics
work with other disciplines OT,PT,
promote independence
interventions
Term
advantages of mobility:
Definition
decreased risk for:
early death, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, colon and breast cancer, depression
Term
advantages of mobility on actual body:
Definition
promotes weight loss
improves muscle strength and tone
decreases loss of bone density
improves sleep
Term
EFFECTS OF IMMOBILITY ON MOBILITY
Definition
Atony
loss of muscle strength
contractures
osteoporosis
Term
define ATONY
Definition
loss of muscle tone
Term
define CONTRACTURE
Definition
permanent shortening of the muscles
Term
define OSTEOPOROSIS
Definition
decalcification of bones

Term
interventions to help mobility (4)
Definition
ROM exercises
encourage active exercises
proper body alignment
use of assistive devices (canes, walkers)
monitor blood CA+ levels
Term
EFFECTS OF IMMOBILITY ON ELIMINATION
Definition
URINARY STASIS-leads to UTIs
RENAL CALCULI-kidney stones
DECREASED BLADDER TONE-inability to fully empty bladder
CONSTIPATION AND FECAL IMPACTION-caused by decreased peristalsis
Term
interventions to help with elimination due to lack of mobility.
Definition
ambulation
maintain adequate fluid intake
lab work (urinalysis)(WBC count)
observe urine for color, clarity and odor
monitor bowel sounds
Term
EFFECTS OF IMMOBILITY ON OXYGENATION
Definition
decreased metabolic needs
O2 needs are decreased
respirations are slower and shallow
ATELECTASIS
HYPOSTATIC PNEUMONIA
decreased strength of muscles
Term
ATELECTASIS
Definition
collapse of alveoli
Term
HYPOSTATIC PNEUMONIA
Definition
pooling of respiratory secretions
Term
interventions for lack of oxygenation due to immobility
Definition
increase activity
encourage use of spirometer every 1 hour
deep breathing and coughing exercises
elevate head of bed
keep well hydrated
Term
EFFECTS OF IMMOBILITY ON PERFUSION
Definition
increased cardiac workload (blood returns to heart through muscle contraction)
Venous stasis-(edema, dvt,embolis, skin breakdown)
ORTHOSTATIC HYPERTENSION
Term
ORTHOSTATIC HYPERTENSION
Definition
sudden increase of blood pressure when a person stands up (deactivation of barro-receptors) blood rushes to the brain body has to work harder to bring O2 to the body
Term
perfusion Interventions
Definition
INCREASE ACTIVITY!!!!
check vital signs and heartrate
assess peripheral pulses, edema
monitor for signs of DVT
TURN PATIENT EVERY 2 HOURS
TEDS, SCDS
allow pt. to dangle legs before getting up
Term
EFFECTS OF IMMOBILITY ON NURTITION AND METABOLISM
Definition
loss of appetite
increased risk of dehydration
risk of electrolyte imbalance
altered carbohydrate, fat, protein metabolism
Term
Nutrition interventions
Definition
work with dietary
offer smaller meals or supplements
provide appropriate environment for eating
Term
EFFECTS OF IMMOBILITY ON SKIN INTEGRITY
Definition
pressure ulcers-j caused by blocked capillaries, lack of O2 to tissue
ischemia, necrosis
Term
interventions for skin integrity
Definition
TURN PT. EVERY 2 HOURS
pad boney prominences
keep bed linen wrinkle free
Term
EFFECTS OF IMMOBILITY ON PSYCOSOCIAL INTEGRITY
Definition
Depression, isolation, loss of control, anxiety, inappropriate mood changes
Term
NURSING DIAGNOSIS FOR MOBILITY
Definition
RISK FOR FALLS
ACTIVITY INTOLERANCE
RISK FOR INJURY
RISK FOR LONLINESS
IMPAIRED PHYSICAL MOBILITY
RISK FOR SKIN INTEGRITY
IMPAIRED TRANSFER ABILITY
IMPAIRED WALKING
Term
what does performing ROM exercises prevent?
Definition
improves muscle joint function
prevents contractures
improves muscle strength
increases circulation
Term
guidelines for ROM
Definition
NEVER USE FORCE
2-3 TIMES A DAY
5X EACH MOVEMENT
