Extract:
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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Footboard. A footboard helps prevent plantar flexion contractures by maintaining the client's feet in a neutral position, preventing the toes from pointing downward. This positioning helps stretch the calf muscles and prevents shortening of the Achilles tendon. The other options are not specifically designed to prevent plantar flexion contractures. B: Sheepskin heel pad provides cushioning and may help prevent pressure ulcers but does not address contractures. C: Trochanter roll is used for hip abduction and positioning, not foot positioning. D: Abduction pillow is used to maintain proper hip alignment, not foot positioning.
