    Uploaded by

    deric
    The document provides a nursing care plan for a patient who slipped and fell down the stairs, fracturing their leg and impairing their mobility. The care plan assesses the patient's injury, diagnoses the fracture, plans interventions like mobility exercises and pain management, and evaluates the patient's progress after 8 hours of nursing intervention. The goal of the interventions is for the patient to regain mobility at the highest possible level through active and passive range of motion exercises while also preventing complications from immobility like muscle atrophy or joint contractures.
