A nurse is planning care for a client who has left-sided hemiplegia following a stroke. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Providing a short-handled reacher aids in grasping objects without straining the unaffected arm. A plate guard is helpful but not the primary action, using a cane on the affected side is unsafe, and placing the table on the left side is impractical.
