Practice Question

A nurse is caring for a client who had a spinal cord injury and has paraplegia.

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Passive range-of-motion exercises to lower extremities performed once each day.

Rationale:

Passive ROM once daily — This requires intervention because it is insufficient to prevent contractures; passive ROM should be performed several times a day.

Plantar flexion contractures — This indicates complications have already developed due to inadequate ROM or lack of support devices (e.g., footboards, splints). Intervention is needed to prevent worsening.

Nonblanchable erythema on heel — This is Stage 1 pressure injury and needs immediate intervention (e.g., offloading pressure, protective dressings) to prevent breakdown.

Repositioning every 2 hr — This is appropriate and does not require intervention.

Feet are warm, pedal pulses +2 bilaterally — This indicates adequate circulation, no intervention required.
