Verified step by step guidance

Understand the importance of early mobilization in postoperative care. Early mobilization helps prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis, pneumonia, and muscle atrophy.

Recognize that the timing of mobilization is crucial. It should be initiated as soon as the patient is awake and stable, rather than waiting for a specific time frame or event like eating a meal or discharge.

Assess the patient's stability by checking vital signs, level of consciousness, and overall physical condition to ensure they are ready for mobilization.

Communicate with the healthcare team to confirm that there are no contraindications for the patient to get out of bed, such as surgical restrictions or medical conditions that require bed rest.

Encourage and assist the patient in getting out of bed safely, providing support and monitoring their response to ensure they tolerate the activity well.
