    Study Notes

    Restorative Care Observations

    • Report signs of depression in residents to the nurse.
    • Observations on family visits or media consumption are not as critical.

    Nursing Assistant's Role in Restorative Care

    • Acknowledge that setbacks in recovery can occur and provide reassurance to residents.
    • Avoid completing tasks for residents if they take longer; support their independence.

    Benefits of Activity and Exercise

    • Regular physical activity enhances skin quality and health.

    Assisting Residents with Visual Impairments

    • Position beside and slightly in front of a resident to guide them safely during ambulation.

    Definitions of Movement Terms

    • Ambulating refers to walking by the resident.
    • Abduction means moving a body part away from the midline of the body.
    • Flexion is the act of bending a body part.

    Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises

    • Passive range of motion exercises are for residents unable to move independently.
    • Active range of motion (AROM) exercises are performed by residents without assistance.

    Resident Repositioning Guidelines

    • Immobile residents need to be repositioned at least every two hours to prevent complications.

    Understanding Prosthetics

    • An artificial eye is a common example of a prosthesis.

    Guidelines for Bladder and Bowel Retraining

    • Encourage fluid intake to support bladder and bowel health; ensure privacy during elimination.

    Range of Motion Exercise Protocol

    • Each ROM exercise should be performed at least three times for effectiveness.

    Cane Usage

    • A quad cane has four rubber-tipped feet for stability.
    • When walking, place the cane about six inches in front of the stronger leg for optimal support.
