As a part of care planning, the nurse considers the client's spiritual needs. What is the Rationale for this concern?

C. Range-of-motion (ROM) exercises are essential in preventing contractures. These exercises aim to maintain or improve joint mobility by moving each joint through its full range of movement. They help stretch tight muscles and maintain flexibility, thereby preventing the progression of contractures.

A. While muscle strengthening exercises are beneficial for overall muscle health, in the context of contractures, the primary issue is the shortened and tight muscles. Strengthening exercises alone may not effectively address the contractures and could potentially exacerbate them.

B. Frequent repositioning is crucial to prevent and potentially reverse contractures. By changing the client's position regularly, pressure and stress on specific muscle groups are relieved, which can help prevent further tightening and promote flexibility. This intervention helps maintain joint mobility and prevents contractures from worsening.

D. Weight-bearing activities can be beneficial for joint health and bone density but may not directly address contractures. Contractures involve structural changes in the muscle-tendon unit rather than joint stiffness alone.

C. A comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of patient care, safety, and organizational processes are thoroughly reviewed and addressed according to TJC standards. This includes comprehensive assessments of patient needs, care plans, and quality improvement initiatives.

A. This term typically refers to the process of capturing images or videos at intervals over time. In the context of healthcare and TJC requirements, "time-lapsed" is not a standard term used by TJC.

B An emergency situation refers to a sudden and often critical medical situation requiring immediate attention and intervention. While TJC does have standards related to emergency preparedness and response in healthcare facilities, "emergency" is not specifically a type of TJC requirement in the context provided.

D. A focused approach refers to concentrating on specific areas or issues within healthcare organizations to address particular concerns or improvements. However, this is not specific about TJC.
