You need to carry out an exercise programme exactly as specified in the care plan and record and report the outcomes and any problems at each step. Others involved in an individual’s mobility activities could include an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, G.P. or community nurse.

When I entered the client’s room for wound care; I saw that she was on her bed, in semi-fowler position with the bottom of the bed elevated as well. I pressed the bed remote to bring the bottom of the bed down and straight. We had everything ready on the table for the procedure; we washed our hands and wore PPE, gloves. Client’s legs were very stiff and contracted, we tried to extend but it didn’t work. It was documented on client’s chart that she has severe contracture which “is an abnormal flexion and fixation of a joint caused by muscle atrophy and shortening” (LeMone, p. 1330). When I assisted client with passive ROM exercises before wound care, it was very difficult to straighten her legs. We perform aseptic technique for cleaning and dressing the wound. We placed extra bed pad under client’s leg and I used the

The ratings for this scale vary from no pain, a zero, to the worst pain one could possibly endure, a ten ('Misha' Backonja & Farrar, 2015).  This type of tool used for measuring pain is considered a self-assessment.  Meaning, the individual rates his/her pain on the provided scale.  All individuals who have received medical treatment, whether for a serious injury or a yearly physical, has been asked, “What would you rate your pain today, on a scale of one to ten?”.  This pain assessment tool is considered a fully ordered variable due to the individual having a wide range to rate his/her

1000 Pt denied pain at this time and rate 0 on a scale of 0 to 10. Pt thanks me a lot for pain medication I gave her. Instruct the pt to report her pain early before it get worse so I can give pain medication. Pt verbalized understanding of the teaching. No sign of distress or discomfort at this time. Will continue to monitor………L.Gotora

Compression will help reduce and prevent swelling and can be applied immediately after injury at pitch side but only for 10 minutes at a time to avoid stopping the circulation. An elastic ankle support can provide mild compression throughout the healing process to help reduce swelling.

DOI: 4/01/2015. The patient is a 53-year-old-male old carpenter /foreman who sustained a work- related injury while lifting a high beam when the beam slipped before being placed into the ground pushing him between the beam and leads, crushing his right ankle and foot.

A compression bandage can be applied immediately to help stop swelling but it should only be applied for 10 minutes at a time as restricting blood flow completely to the tissues could cause more damage, whereas the calf supports can be applied for longer. We also advise wearing a heel pad to raise the heel and shorten the calf muscle hence taking some of the strain off the muscle. It is a good idea to put heel pads in both shoes because otherwise one leg will become longer than the other due to the raised heel thereby creating an imbalance and possibly leading to other associated injuries / pain. For more comprehensive treatment and to minimise the risk of re-injury, Sportsinjuryclinic.net advise seeing a professional therapist (such as physiotherapist, sports therapist, osteopath or chiropractor) who can also devise a full calf strain rehabilitation program including stretching and strengthening exercises. A doctor or medical professional may prescribe anti-inflammatory medication e.g. ibuprofen which is beneficial in the first few days after the injury. Do not take ibuprofen if you have asthma and always speak to a pharmacist or doctor before taking medications. There is some evidence that anti-inflammatories can impair healing so do not take them for more than a few days at the beginning of the injury. Also, taking medication can sometimes "mask" any pain and may therefore be detrimental to the healing

(REARDON, ANGER & SZUMITA, 2015.). There are two ways to assess pain which they have been used for long time. The first way is Visual analog Scale. The second way is Numeric Rating Scale which means patient should rate their pain in scale of (0-10) zero is no pain and 10 is the worst pain. REARDON, D. P., ANGER, K. E., & SZUMITA, P. M. (2015). However, “the nurse also judged patiens’ pain based on their appearance and mobility, and investigated any potential complications by conducting physical examination. The nurses often rechecked the pain levels in order to clarify and ensure that the recorded pain levels corresponded to the causes of the pain and suffering” (Chatchumni, Namvongprom, Eriksson, & Mazaheri, 2016) patients also may report no improvement for their pain even though with high dose of opioid and ask for high dose of opioid while the nurses noticed them sleeping or

From 11 years and differentiate between them and others and use words that refer suffering, whether physical or psychological type. Moreover, it is important to translate the scales in ratings that suit the analgesic ladder for pain control. Although the scales have different scores, they tend to go from 0 to 10 and may be staggered as follows: 0: no pain, 1-3: it would be a mild

Mr. Rasak is working very hard in therapy especially since his dizziness seems to have subsided. He was able to hop 3 times today with parallel bars. He is able to use a slide board with stand by assistance. He needs help with moving the leg due to the external device being very cumbersome. They are starting to train him in using a walker and being able to non weight bear with the right leg.

Common impairments & functional limitations: muscle weakness, low muscle tone, hyporeflexia, poor voluntary muscle activation and control, muscle incoordination, scoliosis, trouble with sit-to-stands, trouble climbing stairs, trouble ambulating long distances, trouble standing unassisted,

Rationale: The first step to assessing pain is to determine if the patient can report their pain. The patient was asked to rate their pain intensity or select descriptors of pain intensity using a valid and reliable self-report pain tool (McCaffery, Herr, & Pasero, 2011).
