Research problem/purpose
I.

The research problem was to determine the feasibility of implementing an ICU mobility
team that is dedicated and the impact it would have on patient recovery.

II.

The purpose of the research was to assess the quality care outcome and also the costs
associated with the processes. The research also analyzed the issue of sedation and
delirium measures, which was a comparison between patients who received routine care
and those who received physical therapy from a dedicated mobility team.

III.

The investigators have placed the study problem in the context of existing nursing since
they have dedicated the research on ICU on an acute care hospital.

IV.

The study will solve a problem relevant to nursing which is ensuring faster recovery of
ICU patients at a lower cost.

Review of the literature
I.

The concepts that were explored in the literature review include delirium duration and
reduced postoperative complications. Issues of daily living were also put into
consideration including exercises. The other concept include the mobility protocols and
the instruments that are used i...
