While caring for Mrs. Thomas, you see a notation on the nursing care plan that states 'ambulate at least 10 yards qid'. This patient will be assisted with ambulation at which of the following times?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is to assist the patient with ambulation at 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm, and 10 pm as qid stands for four times per day. This schedule is commonly followed in healthcare facilities to ensure regular ambulation and exercise for the patient. Choices A, B, and C do not cover all the specified times for ambulation as indicated by the qid notation on the care plan.
