Mobility has positive and negative impacts on our patients’ lives. It affects positively in a way that it helps the patient for better respiration, makes him active and healthy when he walks outside, and interacts and facilitated by neighbors. In the same way, it harms patients’ life. As a patient move out, he comes in contact with different germs that can damage their health. The safe ambulation for an older adult being discharged from the hospital is when he takes food. He walks outside to digestion of food properly and walks in the morning or evening, which makes him fresh and active. Use a belt for a safe and proper walk. Take a diet that is easily digestible because the patient does not walk more and is in bed. Take medicine on time and check the recovery speed from the disease. Avoid germs and wear neat and clean clothes. Use bacteria-killing soaps or liquids because he is in most of the time in bed, which can help him be safe from bacteria. Sleep on a clean bed and ensure the environment in which he lives is clean. Walk carefully and use comfortable footwear. Sit in an upright position to feel better. Walk about 2.5 miles, not more than this. Mobility helps to promote a healthy lifestyle in a way that it helps to correct muscular imbalances, correct the posture shape, helps to prevent injuries, make the body active to move efficiently and do work properly, reasonably, and on time and gives a better range of movement during workout and during performing other daily activities and doing everyday life work. It encourages people to participate in effective exercises and activities that can improve their cardiovascular health.
