2. What is the best nursing intervention for a client with limited mobility who cannot move independently?

• A. Passive range of motion
• B. Pillows for positioning
• C. Active range of motion
• D. Continuous passive motion

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The best nursing intervention for a client with limited mobility who cannot move independently is passive range of motion. Passive range of motion exercises help maintain joint flexibility, prevent contractures, and improve circulation in immobile clients. Choice B, pillows for positioning, may provide comfort but does not address the need for joint movement. Choice C, active range of motion, requires the client's active participation, which is not feasible for someone with limited mobility. Choice D, continuous passive motion, is more commonly used in rehabilitation settings for specific joints and is not typically the primary intervention for overall limited mobility.

• A. Blowing one’s nose
• B. Bearing down during defecation
• C. Lifting items heavier than 10 pounds
• D. All of the Above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After cataract surgery, the client should avoid activities that can increase intraocular pressure. Blowing one’s nose and bearing down during defecation can raise the pressure inside the eye, which can be harmful during the healing process. Lifting items heavier than 10 pounds can also lead to an increase in intraocular pressure. Therefore, all the activities mentioned in the choices (nose blowing, bearing down during defecation, and lifting heavy items) should be avoided after cataract surgery to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
