Impaired Physical Mobility Nursing Care Plan

Clients with conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, fractures, or neurological disorders that affect mobility may benefit from an Impaired Physical Mobility Nursing Care Plan. Additionally, older adults experiencing age-related mobility decline may require such a plan.

The care plan typically includes assessments of the client's mobility status, nursing diagnoses related to impaired mobility, goals for improving mobility skills, nursing interventions, and evaluation criteria to measure progress.

Nurses develop the care plan based on a thorough assessment of the client's mobility limitations, functional status, and contributing risk factors. They use evidence-based interventions and collaborate with physical therapists and interdisciplinary teams to create a personalized care plan.
