Unit 4222-211 Provide Support for Mobility
Outcome 1 Question 1
Mobility means being able to move or be moved freely. Individuals with disabilities or deformities may have restricted mobility as some parts of their body may not being able to move freely
Outcome 1 Question 2
Many health conditions can affect mobility, from physical deformities to neurological conditions (ie Multiple Sclerosis). Somebody that is unable to physically move their arms or legs due an disability (such as juvenile arthritis) will have restricted mobility, where they may not be able to carry out day to day tasks and may need assistance. Multiple Sclerosis can affect a number of functions that would ultimately affect mobility, changes in vision could make it

Outcome 2 Question 4
Before using mobility equipment and/or appliances it is important to visually check that the equipment is safe and clean. Mobility equipment is serviced and inspected regularly by qualified individuals but it is still important to carry out visual checks yourself just in case there is damage to the equipment. It is important that mobility equipment and/or appliances is clean before every use as
* Disability – If in a wheel chair this may prevent them from playing some unadapted sports and therefor may not be pushed to their physical peak.
3. Explain the purpose of keeping equipment clean, hygienic and ready for the next user.
Every business must have a risk assessment in the salon to abide with health and safety regulations, which is required by the law. By doing this the manager or owner must control and assess the risks in the workplace. You need to consider what might cause harm to people and decide whether you
Usage of equipment should be monitored constantly and children should be given instructions of how to use it. Equipment should be stored safely and should be checked and maintained regularly. Any damaged equipment should be removed, repaired or made unreachable if its condition creates a risk of hazard.
A disability is the source of a handicap. In support of this, case in point, the condition of a person’s disability that they have put a stop to them from being able to move about their legs, it may consequence handicap their driving abilities.
Physical Limitations – Some medical conditions mean certain physical activities may not be possible. This may mean that a child or young person needs an activity adapted to suit their needs. It may also mean that certain

You don 't come cross anaphylactic shock often, but you still have to be aware. Other severe adverse reactions that could include a fever and skin blistering; these usually occur within an hour of the medications being administered. Sometimes adverse reactions can develop over a few weeks, they may cause damage to the kidneys or liver. If adverse reactions are not treated they could be fatal. When individuals experience adverse reactions to medicines my workplace policy is to inform the GP and explaining in detail the adverse reactions, the staff member will then inform the individual/ team. GP advise and guidance will then determine if the medication is to be stopped. If the reactions are so serious then an ambulance should be called my responsibility is that I have duty to continue to observe the individual and monitor their vitals, speaking to them and looking at any changes, so as to ensure that the individual is not deteriorating. All adverse reactions and following advice given, must be recorded in full in the individual’s clinical note and referenced in their daily report also MAR’s chart. 4.
By definition the term progressive mobility means a “series of planned movements in a sequential manner beginning at a patient’s current mobility status with a goal of returning to his/her baseline” (Vollman, 2010). Much simpler explained it means for us nurses to get our patients moving. Challenging nurses to use the patient’s current musculoskeletal abilities and help them progress towards their old or new individual baseline has many benefits other than the building of physical strength. This brief summary will explore the purpose, benefits, costs and target population involved in a progressive mobility project in the Intensive Care Unit including the basis upon which the program will be evaluated. Progressive Mobility benefits the
Again I would not use any equipment I have not been fully trained on. I would ensure I am wearing correct clothing and footwear when moving and positioning an individual, to avoid risk of being harmed, for example I would not wear open shoes or sandals while using a hoist. I would need to check my surroundings (enough room, loose rugs, furniture in the way) and the equipment being used (enough charge, no loose wires, and sling clean and intact). Infection control also plays a part in this too, correct PPE (personal protective equipment) should be worn and hands washed. NEVER rush when moving and/or positioning an individual.
Physical: is non-accidental use of force against any person that results in physical pain, injury, impairment or confinement.

* working with person centred values – these may include things that are specific to the individual, their rights and dignity should be respected at all times. Individuals have the values of any person in the world; rights, independence, privacy, dignity, choices for every aspect of life, partnership & individuality should all be respected in order for a person to have their own values met. If all these things are met for the individual, then the likelihood of abuse may be reduced due to the person being able to make his/her own decisions in everyday tasks E.G. choosing clothing/meals/activities. Each individual whether in care or not has the expectation to be listened to and their choices respected, if this is not done, then the
Report any hazards – all persons on the school premises should be aware of any hazards which may cause harm. A yearly risk assessment is carried out which will outline which areas and activities of the school are more hazardous, detailed hazards and who may be at risk. Pupils and all staff need to report hazards they come across straight away to the correct person. Everyone should know who the person is who Health
As a healthcare provider we have to ensure we have the correct amount of staff as well as staff with the right skill set and qualifications on shift which meets the needs of the people we are supporting.
In the current investigation, at baseline, 22(88%) of 25 Group 1 individuals and 13 (52%) of 25 Group 2 individuals exhibited independent mobility in unfamiliar places; this difference was statistically significant (χ2 test; χ2[df=1]=7.71; P=0.005).At the 6 month follow-up, 22(88%) of 25 Group 1 individuals and 17(68%) of 25 Group 2 individuals exhibited independent mobility in unfamiliar places; this difference was not statistically significant (χ2 test; χ2[df=1]=2.91; P=0.09).Thus, the proportion ofGroup 1 individuals who exhibited independent mobility in unfamiliar places remained the same (88 %) over the course of the study. However, in Group 2, this proportion improved from the baseline value of 52% to a 6 month follow-up value of 68%;
