A nurse in a provider's office is collecting data from a client who is 1 month postoperative following an ileostomy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates the client is in the acceptance stage of grieving?

Choice A: This is incorrect because maintaining the client on bed rest can increase the risk of complications such as pneumonia, thromboembolism, or pressure ulcers. The nurse should encourage early ambulation and frequent position changes to promote healing and prevent complications.

Choice B: This is correct because repositioning the client can help relieve pressure and discomfort from the incision site. The nurse should assist the client to change positions every 2 hours and use pillows or splints to support the incision.

Choice C: This is incorrect because applying a warm, moist compress to the incision area can interfere with wound healing and increase the risk of infection. The nurse should keep the incision site clean and dry and follow the provider's orders for dressing changes.

Choice D: This is incorrect because administering an additional dose of pain medication is not necessary when the client reports a pain level of 2 on a scale of 0 to 10. The nurse should monitor the client's pain level and administer pain medication as prescribed and as needed.

Choice A: This is correct because aligning the client's joints with the joints on the frame can ensure proper functioning and comfort of the CPM device. The nurse should adjust the length and width of the device to fit the client's leg and secure it with straps.

Choice B: This is incorrect because padding the CPM device with a thick pillow can interfere with its movement and cause pressure on the leg. The nurse should use only thin padding or no padding at all for the CPM device.

Choice C: This is incorrect because placing the client in high-Fowler's position can cause flexion contractures and impair circulation in the leg. The nurse should place the client in supine or semi-Fowler's position with the leg elevated on pillows.

Choice D: This is incorrect because setting the degree of flexion and extension as tolerated by client can cause excessive pain and damage to the joint. The nurse should set the degree of flexion and extension according to the provider's prescription and gradually increase it as ordered.
