Question 1 of 5
A client who has undergone internal fixation after fracturing a left hip has developed a reddened left heel. What equipment should the nurse obtain to manage this problem?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The reddened heel results from the pressure of the foot against the mattress. An alternating pressure mattress is effective at minimizing pressure points. The bed cradle will keep the linens off of the client's lower extremities but will not assist with the management of a reddened heel. A draw sheet and trapeze are of general use for this client, but they are not specific for dealing with the reddened heel.
