🛑 Not every patient should be mobilized immediately.
I Assess first. Check precautions. Know when to stop.
👩🏽⚕️ Safe mobility starts with a good clinical assessment.
If you’re a physio or a student, don’t just think, “Let’s mobilize.”
First ask yourself: Is this patient actually safe to mobilize right now?
Look out for things like unstable vital signs, suspected fractures, acute DVT/PE, uncontrolled bleeding, severe chest pain, or sudden neurological deterioration.
Because sometimes, the safest thing you can do is STOP, reassess, and escalate. 🩺
