Question 1 of 5
The client is at risk for developing _ and _
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: The client is at risk for developing pressure injury and foot drop. Given the client's history of a recent cerebrovascular accident (CV
A) and the inability to reposition themselves, there is a heightened risk for pressure injuries due to prolonged periods of immobility. Additionally, the observed occasional movement of the left arm and leg with the right side without movement suggests a potential for muscle weakness or paralysis, which can lead to foot drop.
