Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has emphysema and has difficulty with mobility. The client receives home health care and spends most of his day in a reclining chair. Which of the following physiological responses to prolonged immobility should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - Increased calcium excretion


Rationale: Prolonged immobility can lead to increased calcium excretion due to bone demineralization. Weight-bearing activities help maintain bone density. With decreased mobility, there is less stress on bones, leading to calcium loss. This can increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Summary:
A: Decreased RBC production - Prolonged immobility can lead to decreased RBC production due to reduced bone marrow stimulation, but this is not the primary physiological response in this scenario.
C: Increased insulin production - Immobility does not directly cause an increase in insulin production. Insulin is primarily related to glucose metabolism.
D: Decreased sodium excretion - Prolonged immobility may lead to fluid retention and decreased sodium excretion, not increased.
