A patient presented with symptoms of a stroke including slurred speech, body weakness, limited mobility, and uncoordinated movements. The nurse's assessment concluded the diagnosis was paralysis related to damaged motor pathways from a stroke. The nursing care plan was to establish rapport, monitor vital signs, reposition every 2 hours to prevent ulcers, encourage involvement in activities, and perform range of motion exercises to restore mobility and maintain strength. After 4 hours the patient was able to gradually restore movement and understood their treatment plan.

mpaired physical mobility related to damaged motor neuronal pathway.
After 4 hours of nursing intervention, the patient will be able to gradually restore physical mobility as evidenced by:
Verbalization of understanding of situation / risk factors & individual treatment regimen & safety measures
Long Term: Maintain or increase strength and function of affected body part or whole body.
Establish rapport with the patient
Monitor Vital Signs
Reposition client q2
Provide safety measures including environmental management
Encourage patient's involvement in activities & decision making
