Which nursing intervention promotes mobility for a patient who has been on bed rest for an extended period?
Encouraging the patient to remain in bed perpetuates immobility and can lead to further complications such as deconditioning and reduced muscle strength.
Assisting the patient with passive range of motion exercises promotes joint mobility and prevents contractures and muscle atrophy when the patient is unable to move independently.
Restricting the patient's movement can worsen immobility-related complications and increase the risk of falls. Appropriate interventions should be implemented to facilitate safe mobility.
Restraints should be avoided as much as possible and only used as a last resort to ensure patient safety. Restraints do not promote mobility and can have negative physical and psychological effects.
