Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following placement of a halo vest to manage a cervical vertebral fracture. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reposition the client using a turning sheet. Repositioning the client using a turning sheet helps prevent pressure injuries and ensures proper alignment of the halo vest. This action also promotes circulation and comfort. Encouraging flexion and extension of the neck (
A) is contraindicated as it can disrupt the stability provided by the halo vest. Tightening the screws on the halo device (
B) without proper training can lead to complications. Assessing the pin sites for infection (
C) should be done daily, not every other day, to monitor for potential complications.
