1. what is included in the definition of bedridden?

a person who no longer ambulates
a person who requires a walker to ambulate
a person who is unable to transfer themselves to and from bed
a person who does not want to leave their room

Explanation:

1. Encouraging deep breaths and coughing helps clear the lungs, reducing pneumonia risk. Lying flat (bedridden) can lead to mucus buildup. Eating flat may cause aspiration. Resting in bed (without movement) doesn't help lung clearance.
2. Confusion can be a symptom of UTI (especially in the elderly). Loss of range of motion relates to joints. Constipation is digestive. Reddened skin is skin - related.
3. Promoting interaction (social contact) creates a positive atmosphere. Confining to the room, discouraging visitors, and not reporting mood changes are negative.
4. Range of motion exercises move joints. Contractures are joint stiffness. "Constant movement" is too vague. "Range of mobility" is not the standard term.
5. A bedridden person no longer ambulates (walks). Using a walker means some ambulation. Inability to transfer (but maybe can still walk a bit with help) is not full bedridden. Not wanting to leave the room is a choice, not a physical state.

Answer:

1. Encourage the person to cough and take deep breaths.

3. Promote interaction with others.
