,1. Immobility Effects & Complications
Q1. What factors affect a patient's mobility?
A: Developmental age, nutritional status, lifestyle choices, stress, environment, and disease processes.
Q2. What cardiovascular complication is associated with prolonged immobility?
A: Orthostatic hypotension and increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Q3. What respiratory complication is associated with prolonged immobility?
A: Atelectasis and hypostatic pneumonia due to pooled secretions and reduced lung expansion.
Q4. What musculoskeletal complication results from prolonged immobility?
A: Muscle atrophy, contractures, and disuse osteoporosis.
Q5. What integumentary complication is a major risk with immobility?
A: Pressure injury (pressure ulcer) formation.
Q6. What gastrointestinal complication is associated with immobility?
A: Constipation, due to decreased peristalsis.
Q7. What urinary complication is associated with immobility?
A: Urinary stasis, increasing the risk of urinary tract infection and renal calculi.
Q8. What psychosocial effects can result from prolonged immobility?
A: Depression, social isolation, and altered sensory perception.
Q9. What is the priority nursing intervention to prevent complications of immobility?
A: Frequent repositioning, early ambulation, and range-of-motion exercises as tolerated.
Q10. What are examples of diseases that commonly affect mobility?
A: Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout.
, 2. Mobility Assessment & Nursing Interventions
Q11. What is the purpose of range-of-motion (ROM) exercises?
A: To maintain joint flexibility and prevent contractures in patients with limited mobility.
Q12. What is the difference between active and passive ROM exercises?
A: Active ROM is performed by the patient independently; passive ROM is performed by the nurse or
caregiver for the patient.
Q13. What is the priority nursing assessment before initiating ambulation for a patient who has been
immobile?
A: Assess for orthostatic hypotension by checking blood pressure lying, sitting, and standing.
Q14. What is a key nursing safety consideration when assisting a deconditioned patient to stand for the first
time?
A: Have the patient dangle at the bedside first and assess for dizziness before full ambulation.
Q15. What equipment may be used to assist a weak or unsteady patient with ambulation?
A: A gait belt, walker, or cane, as appropriate for the patient's needs.
Q16. What is the purpose of sequential compression devices (SCDs)?
A: To promote venous return and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis in immobile patients.
Q17. What is a key nursing teaching point for a patient using a cane?
A: Hold the cane on the stronger side of the body and advance it with the weaker leg.
Q18. What is a key nursing teaching point for a patient using crutches?
A: Support body weight with the hands and arms, not the axillae, to avoid nerve damage.
Q19. What is the purpose of a trapeze bar for a bedbound patient?
A: To assist the patient in repositioning and strengthening upper body muscles.
Q20. What is the priority nursing intervention for a patient at risk for falls due to mobility limitations?
A: Implement fall precautions, such as keeping the bed low, using non-slip footwear, and ensuring the call
light is within reach.
