PY - 2018 T2 - Mobility in Context: Principles of Patient Care Skills, 2e AB - For the minimally mobile patient, the clinician’s actions play a particularly important role. While accomplishing the task at hand, be it draping, positioning, assessing vital signs, or transferring a dependent patient, even the seemingly small aspects of the clinician’s activities can have large effects on the patient’s potential for mobility. The clinician’s abilities to establish rapport with the patient and engage the patient in the task, to create an environment conducive to mobility, and to establish baselines and monitor responses to activities can be powerful influences on the patient’s capacity for mobility.
