- 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

- 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
Nursing Diagnoses Related to Activity
- 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.
