Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to provide foot care for a client who is ambulatory. Identify the sequence of steps the nurse should follow when performing foot care.
Correct Answer: B,C,E,D,A
Rationale: The correct sequence for providing foot care to an ambulatory client is as follows:
B: Assist the client into a sitting position in a chair - Ensures client comfort and accessibility for foot care.
C: Soak the client's feet in warm water - Helps soften calluses and relaxes the client.
E: Rub callused areas of the client's feet using a washcloth - Allows for gentle exfoliation.
D: Apply lotion to the client's feet - Moisturizes and nourishes the skin.
A: Gently dry the client's feet and areas between the toes with a towel - Completes the foot care process.
Incorrect choices:
C: Soaking the feet first allows for better callus removal, so applying lotion before this step would be less effective.
E: Rubbing callused areas should be done after soaking to avoid harsh exfoliation on dry skin.
D: Applying lotion before exfoliation can hinder the removal of dead skin cells.
