44. A nurse is preparing to provide foot care for a client who is ambulatory. Identify the sequence of steps the nurse should follow when performing foot care. (Move the steps into the box on the right, placing them in the order of performance. Use all the steps.)

Assist the client into a sitting position in a chair. Ensures comfort and stability before starting foot care. Soak the client's feet in warm water. Softens the skin and makes cleaning easier. Rub callused areas of the client's feet using a washcloth. Helps remove dead skin and promotes circulation. Gently dry the client's feet and areas between the toes with a towel. Prevents moisture buildup, which can lead to fungal infections. Apply lotion to the client's feet. Moisturizes the skin but should not be applied between the toes to prevent excessive moisture retention and fungal growth.
