Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has impaired mobility. Which of the following support devices should the nurse plan to use to prevent the client from developing plantar flexion contractures?

Rationale: A BMI of 40 may reduce POP efficacy due to altered hormone metabolism, requiring provider consultation. Non-conception plans align with POP use, night sweats and ginger are not contraindications.
