Assessment and Prevention of Immobility Complications ( 5 Questions)
Which assessment finding indicates a potential complication of immobility related to the respiratory system?
Increased muscle strength is not typically associated with respiratory complications of immobility.
Increased lung expansion is not commonly observed in individuals with immobility-related respiratory complications.
Diminished breath sounds may indicate decreased ventilation and impaired respiratory function, which can be a complication of immobility such as atelectasis or pneumonia.
Although the respiratory rate can be normal, it does not provide direct information about potential complications of immobility on the respiratory system.
