Question 1 of 5
When conducting a physical examination of a client with generalized muscle weakness, which of the following is the PRIORITY for the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Limit position changes as much as possible. In a client with generalized muscle weakness, limiting position changes is crucial to prevent fatigue and further muscle weakness. Moving the client too frequently can exacerbate their already compromised muscle strength. Draping (choice
A) and hand-washing (choice
C) are important but not the priority in this situation. Using alcohol swabs to clean the stethoscope (choice
D) is also not a priority compared to the need to minimize position changes to prevent muscle fatigue.
