Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has quadriplegia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent a pulmonary embolism? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: The correct actions to prevent a pulmonary embolism in a client with quadriplegia are A: Perform passive range of motion exercises, C: Assess legs for redness, and D: Apply elastic compression stockings. Passive range of motion exercises help improve circulation and prevent blood clots. Assessing legs for redness can help identify signs of inflammation or blood clots early. Applying elastic compression stockings helps promote venous return and prevent blood pooling in the legs, reducing the risk of clots. Placing pillows under the client's knees when in bed may help with positioning but does not directly prevent pulmonary embolism. Massaging the calves can dislodge blood clots, increasing the risk of pulmonary embolism.
