The nurse is caring for a client who is recovering from a cerebrovascular accident and is partially paralyzed on the right side. How should the nurse position the chair when getting the client out of bed?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Placing the chair on the left (unaffected) side facing the foot allows the client to pivot using their stronger side, facilitating safe transfer. Right-side placement or incorrect orientation hinders mobility.
