TAKE ACTION BASED ON RESIDENTS' ABILITIES
Once you have more accurate information about residents' abilities to move independently, you can design more effective movement care plans. For example, try the following movement care plans:
- Use verbal reminders to move for those residents judged able to independently move but who require verbal cues or encouragement to do so.
- Remember to reposition those residents who are unable to move independently both when in bed and when up in a chair.
- Use verbal reminders for residents who are able to independnetly move one side of their body (e.g., scored level 0-1 when turning to one side but levels 2-4 when turning to the other side). Provide physical help when moving these residents to the impaired side of their body.
