B. Ensure that siderails are raised on his stretcher.
C. Check his bowel sounds for intestinal obstruction.
D. Teach him to move slowly when walking.
Ans: ANS: B
Rationale: To maintain client safety, older adults who are on
beds or stretchers, especially those who are confused, should

status and bowel sounds and to teach him to move slowly when
walking, but the greatest priority is maintaining safety.
