Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who has herpes zoster and is inquiring about the use of complementary and alternative therapies.Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the patient’s risk of developing plantar flexion contractures?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Apply an ankle-foot orthotic device to the patient's feet. This option is the most appropriate because an ankle-foot orthotic device helps maintain proper alignment of the foot and ankle, preventing plantar flexion contractures. Placing a pillow under the patient's knees (option
A) may provide comfort but does not address the contracture risk. Positioning trochanter rolls under the hips (option
B) is used for hip alignment, not foot contractures. Advising the patient to wear rubber-soled slippers (option
C) is focused on preventing falls, not contractures. Applying an ankle-foot orthotic device directly addresses the risk of plantar flexion contractures by providing support and maintaining proper alignment of the feet.
