E & D 2 bed mobility guidlines
Question | Answer |
---|---|
A patient that is dependent must be repositioned in bed at least | every two hours |
Skin should be inspected for redness or breakdown | with each position change |
A dependent patient must be | lifted when changing positions in order to avoid shearing across the bed |
Use pillows, towels or blankets when | positioning a patient in order to support and maintain a particular position |
A patient should always be encouraged to | participate in all mobility and positioning |
Practice moving | segmentally from one side of the bed to the other |
Utilize the “bridging” position of hip flexion and knee flexion with feet flat on the surface to assist | with movement and rolling |
Move from a supine to sitting position by | rolling into sidelying and placing the feet over the edge; assist as needed to obtain a sitting position |
All components of bed mobility are complete only when | the patient ends in a comfortable and safe position |
