A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who needs to increase vitamin C intake to promote wound healing. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as the best source of vitamin C?

Choice A reason: This is correct because a mechanical lift is designed to safely transfer a client who has limited or no mobility and cannot assist with the transfer.

Choice B reason: This is incorrect because the sides of the sling are not for the client to hold onto, but for the nurse to attach the hooks of the lift.

Choice C reason: This is incorrect because the lower end of the sling goes under the client's thighs, not below the client's calves

Choice D reason: This is incorrect because the device does not require the client to use upper body strength, but rather supports the client's weight and movement.

Choice A reason: Calf swelling is a sign of deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the lower leg or thigh. The clot can block the blood flow and cause inflammation, pain, and edema. The nurse should measure the circumference of both calves and compare them for any difference. The nurse should also report any other signs of deep vein thrombosis, such as warmth, redness, or tenderness.

Choice B reason: Clammy skin is not a sign of deep vein thrombosis, but of shock. Shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's organs do not receive enough blood and oxygen. The nurse should monitor the client's vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, and temperature, and report any abnormal findings.

Choice C reason: Tortuous veins are not a sign of deep vein thrombosis, but of varicose veins. Varicose veins are enlarged and twisted veins that appear near the surface of the skin, usually in the legs. They are caused by weak or damaged valves that allow blood to pool and stretch the veins. The nurse should assess the client's skin for any ulcers, bleeding, or infection.

Choice D reason: Bradycardia is not a sign of deep vein thrombosis, but of a slow heart rate. Bradycardia is a condition that occurs when the heart beats less than 60 times per minute. It can be caused by various factors, such as medication, heart disease, or hypothyroidism. The nurse should check the client's pulse and rhythm, and report any irregularities.
