The nurse is caring for a client who is ordered to be on bed rest for a prolonged period of time. What should be included in the nursing care plan to prevent venous stasis?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Antiembolism stockings promote venous return, preventing stasis in bedridden clients. Breathing exercises, ROM, and turning address other complications but not venous stasis directly.
