Which statement best describes the effects of immobility in children?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Immobility in children mirrors adults' physical effects , per the document, including atrophy, contractures, and skin breakdown, with secondary cardiovascular and respiratory changes. Language/motor delay isn't physical. Greater susceptibility or prolonged immobility lacks evidence here. B reflects consistent physiological impacts, making it the best description.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is working with a client in an extended care facility. Which bed position is preferred for a client, who is at risk for falls, as part of a prevention protocol?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bed in lowest position, wheels locked, against the wall is preferred for fall prevention. Low height minimizes injury risk, locked wheels ensure stability, and wall placement reduces access points. Four rails are a restraint, not prevention. Lower rails or bent knees don't optimize safety. D follows safety protocols, reducing fall risk, making it the best position.
