Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to reposition a client who has a lower back injury. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Roll the client as one unit in a smooth, continuous motion. This is the correct action because repositioning the client as one unit minimizes strain on the lower back area, reducing the risk of further injury. Rolling the client smoothly and continuously ensures a controlled movement, preventing sudden jerks or jolts that could exacerbate the injury.
B: Flex the client's knees - While flexing the client's knees can provide some support, it does not address the primary concern of repositioning the client as one unit to prevent strain on the lower back.
C: Place the client's arms at their sides - The position of the client's arms is not directly related to repositioning a client with a lower back injury.
D: Place the client on the side of the bed nearest the direction they will be turned - This action does not address the proper technique of repositioning the client as one unit to protect the lower back.
Overall, choice A
