Title: Discussion 5 - Mobility needs knee replacement
Course: PHT 1200C Basic Patient Care > Section: Module 5

For the discussion this week, consider that your aging parent just had a total knee replacement and they need to stay with your for a short period. They are able to walk short distances using a standard walker without any difficulty. In your discussion, tell us how their mobility would be affected in your current home--could they get to the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, etc.? Are the rooms and doorways large enough to accommodate a walker? Could they get in and out of your home?

You may respond to as many other students as you like in addition to the one required peer posting.
