Do standardized early mobilization protocols improve mobility in medical-surgical inpatients?
Standardized mobility protocols led by clinical nurse specialists are effective for early mobilization in medical-surgical inpatients.
May support CNS-led protocols in medical-surgical inpatients; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Our review indicated that the greatest impact of early mobilization is through standardized mobility protocols or programs. Clinical nurse specialists are experts in leading and sustaining standardized protocols or programs pertaining to a nurse-sensitive outcome such as mobility.
