The nursing care plan is for a patient with impaired physical mobility due to a spinal injury from a vehicle accident. The plan aims to improve mobility through frequent repositioning to relieve pressure and improve circulation, as well as assisted range of motion exercises. After 8 hours of care, the patient was repositioned frequently and relieved of tissue pressure. After 2 days, the patient maintained improved position and function, with reduced foot drop.
