D
The diagnosis related to pain requires the nurse to assist the patient with comfort measures so that the patient is then willing and better able to move. Pain must be controlled before so that the patient will not be reluctant to initiate movement. The diagnosis of Reluctance to initiate movement requires interventions aimed at keeping the patient as mobile as possible and encouraging the patient to do self-care and ROM. This cannot be accomplished until comfort is achieved.
