A nurse is caring for a client who weighs 190 lb and is receiving total parenteral nutrition. If the RDA of protein is 0.8 g/kg of body weight, how many grams of protein should the client receive daily? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Raising the head of the bed to a 90° angle is not recommended for clients with hemiplegia as it can cause discomfort and increase the risk of pressure ulcers. A semi-Fowler's position (30° to 45°) is usually more appropriate.

B. While using moisturizing lotion on bony prominences is important to prevent skin breakdown, it is not specific to the management of hemiplegia. The focus for hemiplegia is more on positioning, mobility, and preventing complications like contractures.

C. Placing pillows between the client's knees when in a side-lying position is an appropriate intervention for a client with hemiplegia. This helps maintain proper alignment of the limbs, prevents pressure sores, and reduces the risk of contractures in the affected side.

D. Instructing the client to sit on a rubber ring is generally not recommended for clients with hemiplegia, as it may not provide adequate support and can lead to improper posture or skin breakdown. Proper seating supports and positioning should be emphasized instead.

A. Meeting with another client who has had an amputation suggests the client is seeking social support and is open to discussing their experience with someone who can relate to their situation. This is a positive sign of acceptance of their altered body image, as it reflects a willingness to engage with others who share similar experiences.

B. Not returning to their job could indicate feelings of loss or hopelessness, which may reflect a lack of acceptance of the altered body image. Acceptance typically involves adapting to changes and finding ways to continue with normal activities, including work.

C. Not wanting to look at the stump during a dressing change suggests difficulty with acceptance of the altered body image. While it is common for clients to have initial difficulty with their appearance, long-term acceptance usually involves becoming more comfortable with the changes.

D. Being glad about no longer having to deal with the infected leg could indicate relief but may also reflect a focus on the physical condition rather than the emotional and psychological aspects of amputation. This statement may not fully reflect acceptance of the altered body image.
