Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing a plan of care for a client who has a spinal fracture and complete spinal cord transection at the level of C5. Which of the following rehabilitation goals should the nurse add to the client's plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ability to self-feed with the use of adaptive equipment. This goal is appropriate because a client with a spinal cord transection at the level of C5 typically has impaired hand function but retains some shoulder and elbow movement. Self-feeding is a basic activity of daily living that can enhance the client's independence and quality of life. Options B and C require higher levels of upper extremity function, which are usually impaired in a client with a C5 spinal cord injury. Option D involves autonomic nervous system functions that are controlled by segments below the level of the injury and are not typically affected by a C5 transection.
