When assisting a client from the bed to a chair, which procedure is
best for the nurse to follow?
A.
Place the chair parallel to the bed, with its back toward the head of
the bed and assist the client in moving to the chair.
B.
With the nurse's feet spread apart and knees aligned with the
client's knees, stand and pivot the client into the chair.
C.
Assist the client to a standing position by gently lifting upward,
underneath the axillae.
, D.
Stand beside the client, place the client's arms around the nurse's
neck, and gently move the client to the chair.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B describes the correct positioning of the nurse and affords
the nurse a wide base of support while stabilizing the client's knees when
assisting to a standing position. The chair should be placed at a 45-degree
angle to the bed, with the back of the chair toward the head of the bed.
Clients should never be lifted under the axillae; this could damage nerves
and strain the nurse's back. The client should be instructed to use the arms
of the chair and should never place his or her arms around the nurse's neck;
this places undue stress on the nurse's neck and back and increases the risk
for a fall.
The nurse is completing the admission assessment of a 3-year old
who is admitted with bacterial meningitis and hydrocephalus. Which
assessment finding is evidence that the child is experiencing
increased intracranial pressure (ICP)?
A. Tachycardia and tachypnea
B. Sluggish and unequal pupillary responses
