The ability to move easily and purposively contributes enormously
to a sense of health and wellbeing, enabling increased independence
and selfprotection. However, many of the patients you encounter
will have some degree of immobility whether it is temporary (for
instance, due to local anaesthesia), permanent (for instance, due
to amputation or stroke) or variable (for instance, due to
arthritis or morbid obesity). This practical pocket guide covers: *
the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system * the
principles of ergonomics * safe moving and handling practices *
positioning the patient * performing a range of movement exercises
* legal aspects of moving and handling * the promotion of sleep.
This competency-based text covers relevant key concepts, anatomy
and physiology, lifespan matters, assessment and nursing skills. To
support your learning, it also includes learning outcomes, concept
map summaries, activities, questions and scenarios with sample
answers and critical reflection thinking points. Quick and easy to
reference, this short, clinically-focused guide is ideal for use on
placements or for revision. It is suitable for pre-registration
nurses, students on the nursing associate programme and newly
qualified nurses.
