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. A footboard is used to prevent plantar flexion contractures by keeping the client's foot in a neutral position. This helps maintain proper alignment of the ankle joint and prevents the toes from pointing downward, which can lead to contractures. A trochanter roll (
A) is used to maintain hip abduction, a sheepskin heel pad (
B) provides cushioning for the heel but does not prevent plantar flexion, and an abduction pillow (
D) is used to maintain hip abduction as well. Overall, the footboard is the most appropriate device to prevent plantar flexion contractures in a client with impaired mobility.
