Question

A client with right sided hemiparesis has limited mobility. which action should the nurse include in the plan of care to help maintain skin integrity?

Answer 1

The client with right sided hemiparesis has limited mobility because the mobility of the skin is due to change in position of the skin and the tissues that are underlying it.  

The nurse will move each joint through its range of movement which will improve the mobility of the joints. Adequate hydration is also required to maintain the integrity of the skin.

Massage also helps in restoring the circulation of that particular area.
