Question

As Mariam is walking to her exercise class, she steps off the curb and falls. She is taken to the emergency room and diagnosed with a fractured hip. She must be on bedrest and in traction for a week before surgery is scheduled. During that time, the pain is significant and she requires a large amount of pain medicine. Which factors contribute to her immobility

Answer 1

Answer:

Many things impact a person's mobility, including age, with young and old at highest risk, being obese or very frail, nutritional status, wear and tear, such as experienced by a manual laborer or athlete, stress level, environmental factors, and health status. Mariams age is unknown, but taking into consideration she goes to an exercise class, says she's active, so her age is not impacting her immobility, the injury is. The stress of hospitalization and the need for pain medicine are both decreasing her mobility.
