Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is caring for an older adult client who had a stroke 4 weeks ago and who is unable to move independently. The nurse should monitor for which of the following complications of immobility?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A reddened area over the sacrum. Prolonged immobility can lead to pressure ulcers, especially in areas where there is constant pressure against a surface, such as the sacrum when lying down for extended periods. Monitoring for redness and skin breakdown in this area is crucial.
Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not directly relate to immobility complications.
Choice D, difficulty hearing some types of sounds, is unrelated to immobility and likely a distractor.
