    The nursing care plan is for a patient with a fractured femur neck who is at risk for falls and has impaired physical mobility. The plan involves assessing the patient's environment and mobility skills, monitoring vital signs during activity, assisting the patient when walking, administering pain medication before activity, instructing the patient on safely walking with assistive devices and handrails, and teaching the patient how to use assistive devices and walk safely. The expected outcomes are for the patient to remain fall-free and be able to state two ways to increase mobility without pain by the end of the shift.
