A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is pregnant and is vegan. The nurse should instruct the client that which of the following foods is a reliable source of Vitamin B12?

A. Using a friction-reducing device, such as a slide sheet or transfer sheet, is a recommended method for moving clients with partial assistance needs. The device reduces friction, making it easier and safer to reposition or move the client with minimal physical strain. Two nurses working together with a friction- reducing device can effectively and safely move the client while minimizing the risk of injury for both the client and the nurses.
B. This method is not ideal for moving clients who have limited mobility or who are only partially able to assist. Relying on the client to push with their feet while the nurse lifts can be unsafe and ineffective,
especially if the client’s strength or coordination is compromised.
C. Lifting a client under the shoulders can be uncomfortable and potentially harmful for the client, especially if they have limited mobility or if proper body mechanics are not used. This method also places significant strain on the nurses’ backs and may lead to injury.
D. A trapeze bar can be a helpful aid for clients who have some upper body strength and can assist with repositioning. However, relying solely on one nurse to lift the client’s legs while the client uses the trapeze bar may not provide adequate support for a complete and safe repositioning.

A. Checking the stockings for wrinkles is an important action. Wrinkles or folds in the stockings can create areas of increased pressure, which might lead to discomfort or skin breakdown and reduce the effectiveness of the stockings in preventing DVT. Ensuring that the stockings are smooth and free from wrinkles helps maintain proper compression and comfort.
B. Measuring the size of the client's foot is not typically required for properly fitting antiembolic stockings. The key measurements for antiembolic stockings are usually related to the calf, thigh, and sometimes the knee, not the foot.
C. Removing the stockings once each day is not usually recommended unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider. Antiembolic stockings are generally worn continuously throughout the day and removed only for specific reasons, such as skin assessment or hygiene.
D. Applying the stockings while the client is sitting in a chair is not the preferred method. Antiembolic stockings should be applied while the client is lying down or in a supine position. This helps ensure that the stockings are applied evenly and that they provide consistent compression without causing undue pressure or discomfort.
