Question 5 of 5
A patient has limited mobility due to a recent surgery. What intervention can help prevent complications related to immobility?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Regular range-of-motion exercises are vital to prevent complications like joint stiffness, muscle atrophy, and blood clots in patients with limited mobility post-surgery. These exercises maintain circulation and flexibility, countering the risks of prolonged stillness. Avoiding hydration increases dehydration risk and doesn't address immobility's effects it's counterproductive. Keeping the patient supine at all times exacerbates immobility issues, potentially leading to pressure ulcers or respiratory problems. Minimizing communication might reduce stress but doesn't tackle physical complications. Nurses use active or passive exercises depending on the patient's ability, ensuring joints stay functional and reducing the likelihood of thromboembolism or contractures, which are serious post-operative concerns.
