What are some benefits of early mobilization in the ICU?

• Worsening respiratory function

• Increasing the risk of muscle weakness

• Some benefits of early mobilization in the ICU include preventing muscle weakness, improving respiratory function, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers and blood clots, enhancing mental well-being, and potentially shortening the length of stay.

• Prolonging the length of stay in the ICU

What are the components of a progressive mobility protocol in the ICU?

• Late mobilization, patient isolation, self-assessment, individual collaboration, monitoring for efficiency

• Early mobilization, goal setting, patient assessment, interdisciplinary collaboration, monitoring for safety and effectiveness

• No mobilization, random goals, no assessment, lack of collaboration, no monitoring

• Limited mobilization, vague goals, minimal assessment, lack of collaboration, sporadic monitoring

How is monitoring and assessment conducted during mobility in the ICU?

• Monitoring of vital signs only

• Intermittent monitoring of vital signs and assessment of the patient's level of consciousness

• Assessment of the patient's pain only

• Continuous monitoring of vital signs and assessment of the patient's level of consciousness, pain, and response to interventions.

Why is early mobilization important for patients in the ICU?

• To promote muscle weakness and joint immobility

• To encourage sleep deprivation and fatigue

• To prevent muscle weakness, maintain joint mobility, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of complications.

• To limit blood circulation and increase the risk of complications

What role does physical therapy play in implementing a progressive mobility protocol in the ICU?

• Physical therapy assesses, designs, monitors, and ensures safe mobilization.

• Physical therapy only focuses on monitoring vital signs

• Physical therapy does not play a role in ensuring safe mobilization

• Physical therapy is not involved in designing mobilization plans
