Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient with impaired physical mobility. Which potential complications will the nurse monitor for in this patient? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A;D;E
Rationale: The correct potential complications for a patient with impaired physical mobility are foot drop, hypostatic pneumonia, and impaired skin integrity. Foot drop can occur due to muscle weakness or nerve damage, leading to difficulty in dorsiflexing the foot. Hypostatic pneumonia is a risk due to decreased ability to clear secretions from the lungs. Impaired skin integrity can result from pressure ulcers due to prolonged immobility. Increased socialization (choice
B) and somnolence (choice
C) are not directly related to physical mobility impairments and are not common complications in this scenario.
