The client with a lumbar laminectomy asks to be turned onto his side. What should the nurse do()
A. Inform the client that because of his laminectomy, he may only lie supine.
B. Ask the client to help by using an overhead trapeze to turn himself.
C. Turn the client’s shoulders first, followed by his hips and legs.
D. Get another nurse to help log roll the client into position.
参考答案:D
解析:
After a laminectomy, the client’s spine must be maintained in proper alignment. The client who had a laminectomy may be turned to his side by logrolling him in one unit while keeping his back straight. It takes at least two people to perform this procedure correctly.
