The nurse is caring for a bedridden, elderly adult. To prevent pressure ulcers, which intervention should the nurse include in the care plan
A. Turn and reposition the client a minimum of every 8 hours.
B. Vigorously massage lotion into bony prominences.
C. Post a turning schedule at the client’s bedside.
D. Slide the client, rather than lift, when turnin
参考答案：C
解析：A turning schedule with a signing sheet will help ensure that the client gets turned and, thus, help prevent pressure ulcers. Turning should occur every 1 to 2 hours--not every 8 hours--for clients who are in bed for prolonged periods. The nurse should apply lotion to keep the skin moist but should avoid vigorous massage, which could damage capillaries. When moving the client, the nurse should lift rather than slide the client to avoid shearing.
