Effective management of bed rest involves several strategies: - Frequent Position Changes: Regularly changing the child's position can prevent pressure sores and improve circulation. - Engaging Activities: Keeping the child engaged with activities like reading, drawing, or puzzles can mitigate boredom and emotional distress. - Physical Therapy: In some cases, mild physical therapy or range-of-motion exercises can prevent muscle atrophy and maintain joint flexibility. - Nutritional Support: Proper nutrition is crucial to support the immune system and overall recovery.
