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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Footboard. Plantar flexion contractures can occur due to prolonged bed rest. A footboard helps maintain the foot in a neutral position, preventing the toes from pointing downward and the development of contractures. A sheepskin heel pad (
A) provides cushioning but does not address the positioning concern. Trochanter roll (
C) is used for hip abduction, not foot positioning. Abduction pillow (
D) is used to maintain hip abduction, not foot alignment.
