“...rest in bed is anatomically, physiologically and psychologically unsound. Look at a patient lying long in

bed. What a pathetic picture he makes! The blood clotting in his veins the lime draining from his The blood clotting in his veins, the lime draining from his

Goals of intervention 

1. Encourage mobilization three times a day1. Encourage mobilization three times a day

2. Mobilization should be progressive and scaledscaled

3. Mobility assessments should be implemented within 24 hours of theimplemented within 24 hours of the decision to admit

4. Interprofessional team collaboration
