Reflection Questions

1 .
Consider working with a patient who is from an at-risk, underrepresented group or who has a disability. Describe how you would approach an exercise conversation with that patient.
2 .
Safe patient handling and mobility techniques take time to perform, as does ensuring there are enough staff available for tasks. You may encounter situations where other nursing staff encourage you to just lift or move patients without taking the time to use assistive devices. How might you, as a new nurse, manage this situation?
3 .
Consider the issue of age and motor-related developmental milestones. When helping a young adult determine appropriate types of physical activities, why might it be helpful to have information about their early childhood development?
4 .
Section 22.2 explored several socioeconomic and environmental barriers to activity. Identify two additional external barriers based on your own experience or that of your friends or family. How might someone overcome these barriers and exercise more regularly?
5 .
This chapter briefly explored the ways that agencies such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the VA use ADLs to decide whether patients require services. Do you think functional assessments should be used to determine a patient’s need for care? Support your response with two scenarios: one in which the process works effectively and another in which it does not.
