A nurse is caring for a client who has been hospitalized and is performing active range-of-motion exercises. Which of the following body movements should indicate to the nurse that the client has full range of motion of the shoulder?

Abducting the arm to a 90-degree angle from the side of the body

Adducting the arm so that is lies next to the client's side

Flexing the shoulder by raising the arm from a side position to a 180-degree angle

Circumducting the shoulder in a 180-degree half circle

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Abducting the arm to a 90-degree angle from the side of the body

This is only partial abduction; full ROM involves more than 90 degrees.

B. Adducting the arm so that it lies next to the client's side

Adduction is part of the range, but not a complete indicator of full shoulder ROM.

C. Flexing the shoulder by raising the arm from a side position to a 180-degree angle

This demonstrates full shoulder flexion, from rest to above the head.

D. Circumducting the shoulder in a 180-degree half circle

Circumduction is a circular movement, but a 180° half-circle isn’t a full demonstration of the shoulder’s capacity.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D"]

Explanation

A. Lock the wheels on beds and wheelchairs during transfers

Locking wheels prevents rolling, ensuring safety during movement.

B. Place the bedside table within the client's reach

Keeping frequently used items within reach reduces unnecessary movement and fall risk.

C. Keep the bed at a comfortable working height

The bed should be kept in the lowest position, not a working height, to reduce risk if the client tries to get up unassisted.

D. Keep a night light on in the client's room and bathroom

Adequate lighting prevents tripping and promotes safety during nighttime bathroom trips.

E. Administer a sedative at bedtime

Sedatives increase the risk of confusion, dizziness, and falls, especially in older adults.

A. Maybe B. Perhaps C. False D. True

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

D. True

Air-fluidized beds use tiny beads under a permeable sheet to reduce pressure and support patients at risk for pressure ulcers. Although the beads are ceramic or coated plastic, not metal, the core concept is accurate for most clinical purposes.
