Study Notes

Learning Objectives

Techniques for assisting patients with hygiene measures will be understood.
Differentiation among isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic exercises will be made.
Ability to assess and develop nursing diagnoses related to mobility problems will be cultivated.
Skills to plan, implement, and evaluate nursing care concerning mobility problems will be developed.

Key Terms

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Essential self-care tasks like bathing, dressing, and feeding.
Contractures: A permanent shortening of muscle resulting in limited movement.
Foot Drop: A complication due to prolonged plantar flexion affecting mobility.
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs): Tasks required for independent living such as preparing meals and managing finances.

Exercise Types

Isokinetic Exercise: Involves muscle contractions against a variable resistance at a constant speed.
Isometric Exercise: Muscle tension occurs without muscle length change, e.g., holding a position.
Isotonic Exercise: Muscles shorten and contract during movement, facilitating active movement.
Range of Motion (ROM): The full extent of movement a joint can normally achieve.

Nursing Care: Hygiene

AM Care (Before & After Breakfast): Assist with toileting, wash face and hands, provide mouth care, and complete bathing and dressing.
PRN Care: Offer hygiene measures as needed; change linens for diaphoretic patients, provide oral care regularly.
HS Care: Help with washing and toileting, change soiled linens, and ensure comfort and accessibility for patients.

Care of Specific Areas

Eye Care: Clean eyes with a warm, damp cloth and use artificial tears for patients with no blink reflex. Care for glasses and contacts as required.
Ear and Nose Care: Wash external ears; aid with hearing aids and remove crusted nasal secretions using warm compresses.
Hair Care: Address any historical issues with hair and scalp, provide grooming and shampooing.

Nursing Care: Activity

Exercise Effects: Exercise influences multiple body systems, enhancing overall health.
Types of Exercise:
- Muscle contraction (isotonic, isometric, isokinetic)
- Body movement including aerobics, stretching, and activities of daily living

Identify potential nursing diagnoses such as activity intolerance, impaired transfer ability, and risk for injury and constipation.

Nursing Interventions for Activity

Ergonomics: Employ strategies to prevent injuries during patient care.
Safe Handling: Utilize equipment like gait belts and transfer devices for safe patient movement.
Positioning: Use devices for proper body alignment and prevent complications such as foot drop.
Compression Stockings: Apply graduated compression stockings while ensuring they are removed during bathing.
ROM Exercises: Facilitate both active and passive range of motion exercises to maintain mobility.
Ambulation Assistance: Help patients with ambulation using supportive devices.

Evaluation of Activity

Assess general ease of movement, body alignment, joint function, muscle mass, and strength for improvement and mobility.
