What are the key nursing diagnoses for patients experiencing immobility as discussed in Chapter 28?

Key nursing diagnoses for patients experiencing immobility include Impaired Mobility, Risk for Fall, and Activity Intolerance. These diagnoses are based on factors such as postoperative status, pain levels, and deconditioning effects from bed rest.

The nursing diagnoses associated with immobility are identified as Impaired Mobility, which relates to the patient's postoperative hip replacement status and pain that limits movement. Risk for Fall is another diagnosis due to altered mobility and potential safety concerns. Additionally, Activity Intolerance is noted, stemming from the deconditioning effects of bed rest, which can lead to shortness of breath and elevated pulse rates during activity.
