Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is prescribed bedrest. The plan of care indicates that the client should perform isometric exercises every 2 hours. Which of the following actions should the nurse take as directed by the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Instruct the client to tighten muscle groups for a short period, and then relax. Isometric exercises involve contracting and relaxing muscle groups without moving the joint. This helps maintain muscle strength and prevent atrophy during bedrest. Moving the client's limbs through their complete range of motion (choice
B) is incorrect as it involves isotonic exercises, which are not suitable for bedrest patients. Asking the client to move her arms and legs while applying slight resistance (choice
C) is also incorrect as it involves dynamic exercises, not isometric. Having the client move each limb independently through its complete range of motion (choice
D) is incorrect as it involves isotonic exercises.
