Study Notes
Rehabilitation and Restorative Care
- Goal of rehabilitation: restore highest level of functioning for individuals.
- Objective of restorative care: maintain the level achieved post-rehabilitation.
Encouragement and Setbacks
- Setbacks in a resident's abilities should not be ignored; they are important to address.
- Not all residents may respond positively to overt encouragement.
Resident Independence
- Care assistants should promote resident participation in daily activities rather than doing everything for them, as it aids in recovery.
- Reporting any decline in a resident's abilities is crucial, as not all residents in restorative care experience decline.
Task Management
- Breaking tasks into small steps is effective for enhancing resident engagement and success.
- It’s vital to report any signs of depression or mood changes in residents.
Effects of Inactivity
- Inactivity can lead to numerous issues, including loss of self-esteem, anxiety, and physical complications like pneumonia and muscle atrophy.
Benefits of Mobility
- Regular ambulation and exercise enhance skin quality, circulation, strength, mood, and digestion.
Assistive Devices
- Assistive devices, like walkers and canes, are essential for helping residents with their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
- A walker is suited for residents with balance difficulties who can bear weight.
