How Can Nurses Evaluate the Effectiveness of Mobility Interventions?
Evaluation of mobility interventions is critical to ensure their effectiveness. Nurses can use various methods to assess progress:
Mobility Scales: Utilize standardized scales such as the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test or the Berg Balance Scale. Patient Feedback: Regularly seek feedback from patients regarding their comfort and confidence in moving. Observation: Observe patients during movement to identify improvements or ongoing challenges. Documentation: Keep detailed records of the patient's mobility status and any interventions applied.
