D. Self-regulation.
Answer: Explanation
Explanation involves using knowledge and experience to choose
strategies to use to care for clients. Evaluation is applicable when using
criteria to determine the results of nursing actions. Interpretation is
involved in the orderly collection of data. Self-regulation is applicable
when the nurse identifies ways to improve his or her own performance.
●● A nurse is teaching members of a health care team how to help
disabled clients stand and transfer from the bed to a chair. To protect the
caregivers from injury, the nurse teaches them to lift the client by first
placing their arms under the client's axillae and doing what next?
,A. Bending and then straightening their knees
B. Bending at the waist and then straightening the back
C. Placing one foot in front of the other and then leaning back
D. Placing pressure against the client's axillae and then raising their
arms..
Answer: Bending and then straightening their knees.
The leg bones and muscles are used for weight bearing and are the
strongest in the body. Using the knees for leverage while lifting the
client shifts the stress of the transfer to the caregiver's legs. By using the
strong muscles of the legs, the back is protected from injury. Bending at
the waist and then using the back for leverage is how many caregivers
and people who must lift heavy objects sustain back injuries. The
anatomic structure of the back is equipped only to bear the weight of the
upper body. By leaning back, the client's weight is on the caregiver's
arms, which are not equipped for heavy weight bearing. The caregiver's
arms are not strong enough to lift the client. In the struggle to lift the
client, the client and caregiver may be injured.
