The ability to move freely and intentionally plays a significant role in enhancing one's sense of health and well-being, fostering greater independence and self-protection. However, it is important to note that many of the patients you encounter will have varying degrees of immobility, whether it is temporary (such as due to local anesthesia), permanent (such as due to amputation or stroke), or variable (such as due to arthritis or morbid obesity). This practical pocket guide aims to provide comprehensive coverage of the following topics:
• 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 delves into relevant key concepts, anatomy and physiology, lifespan matters, assessment and nursing skills. To support your learning, it includes learning outcomes, concept map summaries, activities, questions, and scenarios with sample answers and critical reflection thinking points.
Designed for quick and easy reference, this concise and clinically focused guide is ideal for use during placements or for revision. It is suitable for pre-registration nurses, students on the nursing associate program, and newly qualified nurses seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in moving and handling patients effectively.
