A nurse asks the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to assist in determining the fluid status of a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse delegate to the UAP? (Select All That Apply)

A. Deep breathing and coughing exercises daily: These are important for preventing respiratory complications but do not specifically address the prevention of thrombosis.
B. Removal of compression stockings at night: Compression stockings should generally be worn continuously to prevent venous stasis and thrombosis.
C. Floating the heels while lying in bed: This helps prevent pressure ulcers but is not a primary intervention for preventing thrombosis.
D. Leg exercises ten times per hour while awake: This is the correct choice. Regular leg exercises improve circulation and help prevent venous stasis, thereby reducing the risk of thrombosis.

A. Steak and scrambled eggs: Steak and scrambled eggs are excellent sources of heme iron, which is highly bioavailable and easily absorbed by the body. This choice reflects a good understanding of dietary sources rich in iron.
B. Cornmeal muffin and orange juice: While orange juice can enhance iron absorption due to its vitamin C content, cornmeal muffins are not a significant source of iron. This option does not indicate a strong understanding of iron-rich foods.
C. Cantaloupe and cottage cheese: Both cantaloupe and cottage cheese are low in iron content. This menu choice does not reflect an understanding of the best dietary sources of iron.
D. Strawberry pancakes and coffee: Strawberries have some iron, but not in significant amounts, and coffee can inhibit iron absorption due to its polyphenol content. This choice does not indicate an understanding of iron-rich foods.
