Heart disease
Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
HTN
Hyperlipidemia
Depression
immobility - ANSWER - Inability to move freely and independently at
will,
Risk of complications increases with the degrees of immobility and the
length of time, Periods of immobility or prolonged bed rest can cause
major physiological and psychosocial effects
Factors that affect mobility - ANSWER - Development stage:
-Older adults were the least active but most likely to participate in
fitness activities
Nutrition:
pg. 1

-obesity
-Joint and back injuries and osteoarthritis
Chronic disease:
-Inadequate protein stores to maintain or repair body tissue
-Muscle wasting and fatigue
Lifestyle:
-Personal values

-Assist client to standing position, assist with ambulation as tolerated
-Massage
Effects of Immobility-Cardiovascular - ANSWER - Increased cardiac

Interventions:
-Prevent orthostatic hypotension
-Fluids
-Getting up slowly, dangle feet off the side of the bed
-SCD
-antiembolic /TED stockings
Effects of Immobility-Respiratory - ANSWER - Decreased strength of
all muscles, decreased chest wall expansion, which affects ventilation
Shallow respirations, secretions pool in the lungs
Blockage of air passages and alveoli
Decreased air exchange
Atelectasis or pneumonia
Turn, Cough, deep breath
Interventions:
-Position client sitting up to allow lung expansion to prevent atelectasis
and pneumonia
-Increase fluids
