The patient presented with impaired mobility in the lower limbs due to tissue thickening from filariasis and was unable to walk or move purposefully. The nursing plan was to provide a safe environment, perform range of motion exercises, use mobility devices like trapeze and crutches, provide rest periods, and positively reinforce activities to increase mobility and for the patient to demonstrate independent mobility or mobility within disease limits by the end of the 8 hour intervention period.

IDENTIFICATION Subjective Data: Impaired physical Patient will be able to At the end of 8 hours -Present a safe environment: bed rails up The goal was met. “Hindi ko kayang mobility related to performs physical of nursing R: These measures promote a safe, secure Patient was able to ilakad ang mga paa tissue thickening activity independently intervention patient environment and may reduce risk for falls. demonstrates the use ko” as verbalized by of the lower limbs or within limits of will be able to of adaptive devices to the patient disease. demonstrates the -Execute passive or active assistive ROM increase mobility and use of adaptive exercises to all extremities. demonstrates Objective Data: devices to increase R: Exercise enhances increased venous measures to increase -Inability to move mobility and return, prevents stiffness, and maintains mobility purposefully within demonstrates muscle strength and stamina physical environment, measures to increase including bed mobility -Exercise enhances increased venous return, mobility, and prevents stiffness, and maintains muscle ambulation strength and stamina R: These devices can compensate for -Inability to perform impaired function and enhance level of action as instructed activity.
-Limited ROM -Show the use of mobility devices, such as the
following: trapeze, crutches, or walkers. -Reluctance to R: These devices can compensate for attempt movement impaired function and enhance level of activity.
- Provide the patient of rest periods in between
activities. Consider energy-saving techniques. R: Rest periods are essential to conserve energy. The patient must learn and accept his/her limitations.
-Give positive reinforcement during activity
R: boost the patient’s chances of recovering and to increase his or her self-esteem.
