- B. Ineffective breathing pattern related to inability to breathe deeply in a supine position
- C. Risk for impaired skin integrity as evidenced by pressure over bony prominences
- D. Risk for disuse syndrome as evidenced by immobility
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct priority nursing diagnosis for a client with immobility is 'Risk for impaired skin integrity as evidenced by pressure over bony prominences.' Immobility predisposes the client to the development of pressure ulcers due to prolonged pressure on bony areas. Monitoring and preventing impaired skin integrity is crucial to prevent complications. Choices A, B, and D are not the priority in this case. Constipation, ineffective breathing pattern, and disuse syndrome are important but secondary to the immediate risk of skin breakdown associated with immobility.
