Considering Mr. FrancoÔÇÖs conditions, which of the following is most important to include in preparing FrancoÔÇÖs bedside equipment?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Step-by-step rationale for choice B: Footboard and splint:
1. Footboard helps prevent foot drop by maintaining proper alignment and preventing pressure ulcers.
2. Splint helps stabilize and support Franco's limbs to prevent contractures and maintain proper positioning.
3. Both items are essential for Franco's safety, comfort, and prevention of complications.
4. Hand bell and extra bed linen (Choice A) are not crucial for Franco's immediate care needs.
5. Sandbag and trochanter rolls (Choice C) are not directly relevant to Franco's specific conditions.
6. Suction machine and gloves (Choice D) are important for airway management but not the priority for bedside equipment in this case.
