What You'll Learn

Restorative Services is a critical topic for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) as it covers the important skills and techniques used to help patients regain or maintain their maximum level of independence and functioning. This includes assisting patients with mobility, exercises, and activities of daily living. Understanding Restorative Services is essential for CNAs to provide high-quality, holistic care that supports the overall well-being and recovery of their patients.

Key Concepts

Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises

Specific movements performed to maintain or improve a patient's ability to move their joints through a full range of motion. This helps prevent stiffness, contractures, and loss of mobility.

Ambulation

The act of assisting a patient to walk, either with or without assistive devices like walkers or canes. This helps maintain muscle strength, cardiovascular health, and independence.

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

Basic self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, and toileting. Assisting patients with ADLs is a key part of restorative care.

Assistive Devices

Tools like walkers, canes, and wheelchairs that help patients maintain mobility and independence. Proper selection and use of assistive devices is important in restorative care.

Positioning

Arranging a patient's body in specific ways, such as with pillows or supports, to promote comfort, prevent complications, and facilitate movement and function.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to properly assess a patient's current abilities and limitations before assisting with mobility or exercises
  • Not using proper body mechanics when providing hands-on assistance, which can lead to injury for the patient or CNA
  • Inadequately encouraging and motivating patients to participate actively in their restorative care
  • Not documenting changes in a patient's restorative status or the care provided
  • Providing restorative care without first receiving proper training and guidance from a licensed therapist or nurse
