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 hr. Which of the following actions should the nurse take as directed by the plan of care?

A. Move the client's limbs through their complete range of motion. B. Have the client move each limb independently through its complete range of motion. C. Ask the client to move her arms and legs while applying slight resistance. D. Instruct the client to tighten muscle groups for a short period, and then relax.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Instruct the client to tighten muscle groups for a short period, and then relax. Isometric exercises involve contracting muscles without joint movement, making them ideal for a client on bedrest to maintain muscle strength and prevent atrophy. This type of exercise can be safely performed in a bedridden position, promoting circulation and preventing blood clots. Moving the client's limbs through their complete range of motion (choice
A) and having the client move each limb independently through its complete range of motion (choice
B) are incorrect as these are isotonic exercises that are not suitable for someone on bedrest. Asking the client to move her arms and legs while applying slight resistance (choice
C) is also incorrect as it involves movement and resistance, which are not part of isometric exercises.
