Question 1 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?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Footboard. Plantar flexion contractures occur when the foot is in a fixed downward position for an extended period, leading to muscle shortening. A footboard helps maintain the foot in a neutral position, preventing contractures. A: Sheepskin heel pad provides cushioning but does not prevent plantar flexion. B: Abduction pillow is used to maintain alignment of the legs, not specifically to prevent plantar flexion contractures. D: Trochanter roll is used for hip alignment, not foot positioning.
