Listed below are a few complications that are associated with immobility: • Necrosis • Hypostatic Pneumonia • Loss of bone mass • Permanent loss of function in the immobilized part • Decrease in muscle strength • Stiff joints • Abdominal distention These complications can lead to respiratory issues in immobilized patients, where secretions may gather in the lower airways causing congestion and respiratory illnesses. Performing ROM exercises and deep breathing exercises may prove helpful in preventing pneumonia and increasing oxygen levels. Since bones lose calcium with a lack of weight-bearing activities, we also want to make sure clients are receiving adequate nutrition. To help reduce some of the complications that arise when clients are immobilized, patients in bed should be turned every 2 hours and those in a wheelchair should be moved every 1 hour. We also want to make sure we continue to assess the client checking their ability to move freely, easily, rhythmically, and purposefully as well as checking for skin breakdowns. It is important to ensure that the body is in the correct position or alignment when lifting patients as the body functions best in this state. Proper movement is crucial to prevent injuries, and with appropriate body mechanics, injuries can be avoided. I will make sure to maintain effective body positions to prevent any injuries and utilize any available assistance, while also familiarizing myself with the facility’s policy on lifting.Responses to Peers This discussion requires two replies to classmates.
