Abstract: | The Portuguese population is becoming increasingly aged, so all the changes concerning this process led to an increase of the risk of falling. The reduced mobility after undergoing a surgical process led to the development and implementation of a rehabilitation nursing programme especially directed to the elderly suffering from femur fracture. The specialist nurse’s skills were developed through the implementation and evaluation of a plan of intervention using evaluation instruments depending on the identified focus and diagnosis. The intervention programme had as a result a functional improvement of the elderly people lives concerning mobility, balance, muscular strength and range of movement, allowing them to become more independent on their daily life activities as well. Through a specialized intervention, the rehabilitation nurse helps elderly patients to achieve health gains after having suffered from reduced mobility due to a femur fracture. |
