Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client whose therapy has included bed rest for several weeks. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as the priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Left lower extremity tenderness. This finding should be identified as the priority because it could indicate a potential Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a serious complication of prolonged bed rest. DVT can lead to life-threatening conditions like pulmonary embolism. Increased heart rate during physical activity (
A) is expected after a period of inactivity. Loss of appetite (
B) is a common consequence of bed rest but is not as urgent as investigating for DVT. Musculoskeletal weakness (
D) is also expected after prolonged bed rest but does not pose an immediate threat compared to potential DVT.
