A client with a spinal cord injury.
Question 1 of 5
After performing an assessment on a client with a spinal cord injury, which intervention will the nurse employ to prevent cardiovascular complications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Sit the client at a 90-degree angle. This intervention helps prevent orthostatic hypotension in clients with spinal cord injuries by improving venous return and maintaining blood pressure. Sitting at a 90-degree angle promotes proper circulation and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications. Administering 2000 liters of fluid (
B) is excessive and not indicated. Applying compression socks (
C) may help with venous return but is not specific to preventing cardiovascular complications in spinal cord injury clients. Maintaining blood pressure exactly at 110/80 (
D) is not feasible or necessary for all clients with spinal cord injuries.
