Description of the Components of the Function Focused Care for Acute Care Intervention

Component	Description of the Component
Component I : Education and Training	Section 1: Overview of Function Focused Care; Section 2. Patient Goal Development; Section 3. Optimizing Physical Activity Safely; and Section 4. Patient Motivation. Classes were provided by an advanced practice nurse (APN) and physical therapist with function focused care experience. In the FFC-AC setting, nurses who missed attending a class were provided with the information during one-on-one sessions with the Research Function Focused Care Nurse (Research FFC Nurse). At the end of class, nurses completed the Knowledge of Function Focused Care Activities Test (Burkett et al., 2013; Resnick, Cayo, Galik, & Pretzer-Baboff, 2009).
Component II: Environmental and Policy Assessment	Environment and policy assessments were done by the Research FFC Nurse with unit champions and recommendations for change discussed with administration and initiated as approved.
Component III: Ongoing Training and Motivation of Nurses	The Research FFC Nurse engaged the involvement of the therapists working on the study units and mentored champions and staff nurses to integrate function focused care into routine patient care. This included: (a) oversight during patient admissions to assure that nurses evaluated patients for underlying physical capability and performance; (b) established physical activity goals for the patient; (c) used motivation strategies to encourage patients to engage in functional tasks and physical activity; and (d) eliminated known barriers to physical activity such as unnecessary tethers, pain, fear and sedation.
