AB Now  that  the  patient  is  physically  and  physiologically  capable  of  more  mobility,  patient  care  activities  can  be  used  to  further  the  patient’s  functional  ability.  This  section  provides  instructions  regarding  maintaining  the  capacity  for  mobility  in  the  otherwise  immobile  patient  (see  Chapter  9),  facilitating  independent  mobility  in  bed  (see  Chapter  10),  and  transferring  from  the  bed  to  other  surfaces  (see  Chapter  11).  Applying  the  principles  of  motor  learning  to  these  tasks  will  augment  your  ability  to  facilitate  your  patient’s  success.
