Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has right-sided paralysis following a cerebrovascular accident. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse anticipate to prevent a plantar flexion contracture of the affected extremity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sequential compression devices prevent thrombosis, not contractures. Abduction splints are for hips. Ankle-foot orthotics maintain neutral foot positioning to prevent plantar flexion contractures. Continuous passive motion machines promote joint mobility, not foot positioning.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about preventing back strain to the caregiver of a client who is immobile and requires assistance to reposition in bed. Which of the following statements by the caregiver indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Twisting at the waist can strain back muscles. Keeping legs straight increases back strain. Tightening abdominal muscles stabilizes the spine and prevents back strain, indicating understanding. Placing the bed in the lowest position is unrelated to repositioning technique.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a central venous catheter. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent infection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cleansing the site with chlorhexidine reduces infection risk. Dressings should be changed regularly (e.g., every 7 days or if soiled), flushing protocols vary, and sterile gloves are used for dressing changes.
