ATI Pediatrics Exam 1 Questions

Extract:

A client with partial paralysis repositioned to a side-lying position.


Question 1 of 5

A client who suffered partial paralysis is repositioned by the nurse every 2 hours. After placing the client in a side-lying position, what action will nurse take to prevent complications?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Place a pillow between the knees and ankles. Placing a pillow between the knees and ankles helps to maintain proper alignment of the lower extremities, reducing pressure on bony prominences and preventing skin breakdown and contractures. This position also promotes comfort and circulation.

A: Measuring the calves for symmetry is not directly related to preventing complications from immobility.
B: Palpating the bladder is important for assessing urinary retention but not specifically related to preventing complications from immobility.
D: Checking the gag reflex is unrelated to repositioning a partially paralyzed client.


Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate action to prevent complications in this scenario.
