Modules - Mobility Decline Prevention
CAUSES FOR CONCERN
Special circumstances warrant special attention:
- Forego exercise if the resident feels sick or is in pain. When this happens, CNAs should report their findings to a registered nurse so he or she can assess the resident for possible treatment. CNAs should still provide the resident with toileting assistance.
- Report to the nurse any resident whose performance declines consistently over a period of days. CNAs should report a consistent decline in any of the exercises: walking, wheeling, sit-to-stands, arm raises, or arm curls. The nurse or a physician should assess the resident to determine possible causes for the decline in function.
