Abstract

MEDINA ARTILES, Epifanía; RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, Miguel  and  ACOSTA SUAREZ, Gloria. El estándar de cuidados del alto riesgo de síndrome de desuso. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 1997, vol.13, n.1, pp.54-59. ISSN 0864-0319.

The present paper expresses the need to standardize the basic care that should be given to the patients with musculoskeletal inactivity, Starting from the definition of the high risk disuse syndrome category, the body systems' functionality will be determined. It is important to consider the patients' participation in the activities carried out, as well as their feelings regarding their status and the effects it may produce. The nurse should demonstrate her knowledge and abilities to take care of the patients, keeping the integrity of the skin and of the mucous membranes. An exhaustive bibliographic review was made for this paper. The basic care the patients with musculoskeletal inactivity (disuse syndrome) should receive are explained here.

Keywords : BED REST [nursing]; NURSING CARE [standards].
