The professional caregiver is able to carry out mobility measures including patient/client activation according to the treatment plan and individual condition and resources. This is done autonomously and independently but according to instructions. | The professional caregiver is able to: - involve the patient/client and relevant others in mobility measures,
- accept the need for movement and mobility (e.g. restless patient/client),
- assist in changing the patient’s/client’s position (e.g. in wheelchair, in bed)
- assist in helping the patient/client to stand up (e.g. from bed),
- assist in transferring the patient/client (e.g. into and out of bed, into and out of wheelchair),
- assist in performing passive and active mobilisation,
- recognise and support patient´s/client´s resources regarding mobility,
- assist in using different equipment to assist the positioning, mobility and transfer of patient/client (e.g. standing-up aids, positioning aids),
- assist in applying prophylactic measures to prevent consequences of immobility (e.g. pressure ulcers, thrombosis, pneumonia, contractures),
- change the patient’s/client’s position while taking care of their own health and safety (e.g. Bobath-oriented, kinesthetics),
- prevent risks related to patient’s/client’s environment and mobilisation (e.g. falling, strangulation) (see also CA.A.3).
| The professional caregiver is able to: - explain legal regulations and consequences regarding movement and mobilisation (see also CA.B.3),
- describe the importance of mobility and movement,
- explain techniques for involving patient’s/client’s resources regarding the mobility,
- describe different bed positions and their meaning,
- describe the safe transfer of patients/clients (e.g. from bed to wheelchair by means of bed lifters, manually from the wheelchair to the toilet),
- explain differences regarding active and passive mobilisation,
- name risks of immobility (e.g. thrombosis, pressure ulcers, contracture),
- describe prophylactic measures regarding potential risks resulting from immobility (e.g. thrombosis, pressure ulcers, contracture, pneumonia),
- list different equipment for mobility and transfer of patient/client and describe how it works (e.g. walking frame, wheelchair),
- describe techniques for ensuring their own safety (e.g. kinesthetics) (see also CA.A.3),
- describe the risks of immobility and patient/client mobilisation regarding the patient’s/client’s environment (e.g. amount of storage aids, risk of pulling on infusion lines and strangulation),
- name reasons for restrictive measures (e.g. self-endangerment, danger to others).
