A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about colorectal cancer. Which of the following risk factors should the nurse include?

A. Elevate the head of the bed 45° before starting the CPM device: This is incorrect as elevating the head of the bed is not a necessary preparation for using the CPM device. The device should be used according to the specific postoperative guidelines.
B. Ensure the frame joint is in a flexed position before placing the leg onto the device: This is incorrect because the frame joint should generally be in an extended position to properly align the leg for movement through the device's range of motion.
C. Ensure the knee joint is positioned over the CPM device frame joint: This is correct because proper alignment of the knee joint with the CPM device's frame joint is crucial to ensure that the device functions correctly and promotes effective range-of-motion exercises.
D. Instruct the client to increase the degree of flexion as tolerated: This is incorrect because the degree of flexion should be adjusted according to the prescribed protocol by the healthcare provider and should not be self-adjusted by the client.

A. Primary health problem: This is correct as it provides critical context for the client's current condition and the reason for the transfer.
B. Admission vital signs from 1 week ago: This is incorrect because recent vital signs are more relevant to the current status of the client; historical data from a week ago is less pertinent.
C. Scheduled times for dressing changes: This is correct as it is important for the receiving unit to know about ongoing care needs related to wound management.
D. Number of family members who have visited: This is incorrect as it does not pertain to the client's medical condition or immediate care needs.
E. Current medication prescriptions: This is correct as it is essential for the new care team to have information on the medications the client is currently taking to ensure continuity of care.
