Question 1 of 5
The patient has been in bed for several days and needs to be ambulated. Which action will the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Encourage the patient to dangle at the bedside. This is the first step in ambulating a patient who has been in bed for several days. Dangling helps prevent postural hypotension by allowing the patient's body to adjust gradually to an upright position. Maintaining a narrow base of support (
A) is important during ambulation but comes after dangling. Isometric exercises (
C) and suggesting a high-calcium diet (
D) are not immediate actions needed for ambulation.
