Answer Choices:
Encourage the client to sit in the chair for all meals.
💊 Encourage the client to sit in the chair for all meals — This is correct because getting out of bed promotes mobility, circulation, lung expansion, digestion, and helps prevent complications such as pressure injuries, pneumonia, and venous thromboembolism.
💊 Instruct the client to wear a hospital gown every day, even when out of bed — This is incorrect because clothing choice does not affect immobility complications.
💊 Have the client remain in bed for self-care activities — This is incorrect because prolonged bed rest increases the risk of immobility complications.
💊 Elevate the head of the bed to 30° to 45° for medication administration — This helps with aspiration prevention during meds, but it does not address overall immobility complications.
