Safety is paramount during ambulation. Here are the steps to ensure safe ambulation:
1. Preparation: Ensure the patient is wearing non-slip footwear. Clear any obstacles in the walking path. 2. Assistance: Depending on the patient's condition, use assistive devices like walkers, canes, or gait belts. 3. Supervision: Always supervise the patient during ambulation, especially the first few times. 4. Gradual Progression: Start with short distances and gradually increase as the patient's strength and endurance improve.
