Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to turn a client who is obese following a spinal fusion. The nurse should plan to use which of the following techniques to turn this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Log roll. When turning an obese client following spinal fusion, using a log roll technique is most appropriate. This technique involves turning the client as a single unit to prevent twisting or bending of the spine, reducing the risk of injury. The nurse should assist the client by coordinating the movement with other staff members to ensure a smooth and safe transition. The other choices are not suitable for this scenario:
A) Draw sheet is typically used for moving a client up in bed, not for turning an obese client after spinal fusion.
C) Sliding board is used for transferring clients from one surface to another, not for turning in bed.
D) Hoyer lift is used for lifting and transferring clients who are unable to bear weight, not for turning a client in bed.
