a disruption of bone continuity usually caused by external trauma, can also have a pathological fracture which is caused by an illness like osteoporosis.

90
Q

This term is defined as the inability to move about freely or “impaired of altered ability to engage in movement”.

A

immobility

91
Q

This intervention restricts clients movement for therapeutic reasons. It isn’t used as much anymore because being on it for even 24 hours can lead to musculoskeletal deconditioning.

A

bed rest

92
Q

Name some physical causes of immobility.

A

broken bones, sever sprains, ligament damage

93
Q

Name some environmental causes of immobility.

A

incarceration, astronauts

94
Q

Name some neurological causes of immobility

A

trauma, neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral palsy, spinal injuries

95
Q

name some psychological causes of immobility

A

agoraphobia, depression, catatonia

96
Q

Name some medication causes of immobility.

A

sedation, anesthesia, versed, narcotics

97
Q

What are the metabolic hazards of immobility?

A

-Negative nitrogen balance caused by muscle loss, people have less appetite (compounded by depression and pain), harder strain on the kidneys due to processing extra protein.
Bones release calcium if you’re just sitting there altering their health/weakening them.

98
Q

What are some assessments for the metabolic hazards of immobility?

A

daily weights, lab work for calcium level, electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen level - a negative value would be bad.

99
Q

What are the cardiovascular hazards of immobility?

A

Heart pumps less efficiently, less cardiac muscle strength

  • blood pools in legs, arms, lower back
  • heart sometimes compensates by heart rate increasing and BP decreasing to try and move some of these fluids
100
Q

What are some assessments for the cardiovascular hazards of immobility?

A
  • check for edema indicative of pooling fluid (legs, feet, lower back)
  • check blood pressure and pulse
101
Q

What are the urinary/elimination hazards of immobility?

A
  • extra stress on kidneys because gravity isn’t helping - urine backs up
  • fluid/electrolyte imbalance leads to dehydration and issues like kidney stones and UTI
  • people eating less, not as much bowel activity and likely to have constipation or impacted. Narcotics make it worse, dehydration also worsens the problem.
102
Q

What are some assessments for the urinary/elimination hazards of immobility?

A
  • Look and see how concentrated urine is, cloudy, etc.
  • Intake and Output
  • Ask about BM and its qualities
  • Listen to bowel sounds - also can take awhile for bowel to start going through peristalsis.
103
Q

What are the respiratory hazards of immobility?

A
  • Secretions pool up d/t not coughing as effectively
  • breathing slowly and less deeply
  • risk of pneumonia
  • atelectasis (collapse of the lung)
104
Q

What are some assessments for the respiratory hazards of immobility?

A
  • Listen to lung sounds - crackles, etc. especially in the base of the lungs
  • Sometimes a cough and deep breathe program as a preventative
105
Q

What are some of the musculoskeletal hazards of immobility?

A
  • disuse atrophy and weakness - deconditioning

- contractures - joints get stuck in a position because the muscles are all stuck in a position

106
Q

What are some of the things you can do to prevent the musculoskeletal changes that accompany immobility?

A
  • the sooner you get them moving the better
  • don’t do something for someone that they can do themselves
  • encourage functioning
  • look at all muscle groups
  • move their joints to prevent contractures every so often, especially in older people
107
Q

What are some of the skeletal effects of immobility?

A
  • bones demineralize - calcium leaches out of the bones -weaker, fx. risk.
  • osteoporosis
108
Q

How can we assess for skeletal effects of immobility?

A

Ca+ labs, check their posture, bone pain

109
Q

What kind of integumentary hazards of immobility exist?

A
  • pressure ulcers
  • decreased circulation/edema
  • numbing, might not even realize they have a pressure sore
  • dehydration/fat loss
  • malnutrition
  • sweaty/incontinence - think diaper rash
  • fragile skin
110
Q

How do we assess and protect patients from the integumentary hazards of immobility?

A

check on skin integrity - Bradens scale (q2h), nothing wet or dirty on skin, no skin irritants, move q2h.

111
Q

How does cardiac function differ in an immobile patient?

A

the blood pools which increases the heart rate and decreases the stroke volume, also risk of orthostatic hypotension and blood clots.

112
Q

Where does blood initially pool in the body and what are the effects?

A

in the trunk, causing increased heart rate and decreased stroke volume

113
Q

If there is prolonged immobility, what does this do to the cardiovascular system?

A

it causes sluggish circulation and pooling of blood in the veins of the lower extremities

114
Q

The inflammation of a vein. this is frequently the result of immobilization.

A

phlebitis

115
Q

What 3 things make up Virchow’s triad and contribute to blood clots in the legs?
