  2. Use Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 to describe immobility.
  3. Describe what happens when the client attempts mobility.
  4. Add strength assessment data.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Even though the intervention being performed is placing the client on a bedpan, the nurse should first perform hand hygiene. This prevents cross-transmission of infection from one client to another. Performing this hygiene in front of the client also increases the client's perception of the quality of care being provided and the nurse's concern about infection control.
Rationale 2: This action is done later in the procedure.
Rationale 3: This action is done later in the procedure.
Rationale 4: This action is done later in the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: In order to make this broad nursing diagnosis more specific to the client, the nurse should include what mobility is impaired. For example, if the client cannot transfer from bed to chair, a more specific nursing diagnosis is Impaired Transfer Mobility.
Rationale 2: There are NANDA levels of activity intolerance, but not of immobility.
Rationale 3: Describing what happens when the client attempts mobility might be used in the as manifested by section of the nursing diagnosis, but not in the problem statement section.
Rationale 4: Strength assessment data might be used in the as manifested by section of the nursing diagnosis, but not in the problem statement section.
