A home care nurse is assisting with the care of a client. Exhibits The nurse is planning to focus data collection based on the general findings. Select 5 complications the client is at risk for.

Rationale: • Urinary stasis: Immobility slows bladder emptying and ureteral flow, increasing residual urine. This promotes bacterial growth and risk of urinary tract infection. MS clients with decreased mobility are especially vulnerable. • Calcium resorption: Bone demineralization occurs during prolonged immobility. Without weight-bearing, calcium is released from bone into the bloodstream, raising serum calcium and weakening bones. • Contractures: Lack of movement leads to shortening and stiffening of muscles and joints. Over time, joints lose flexibility, especially if the client remains curled in one position. • Hypocalcemia: The client is more likely to develop hypercalcemia due to calcium resorption from bones. There's no evidence of low calcium symptoms like tetany or numbness. • Hypertension: The client's vital signs are within normal range. Immobility may reduce cardiac output over time, but it does not typically cause high blood pressure. • Diarrhea: Immobility usually causes constipation due to slowed peristalsis. There's no report of active GI symptoms or triggers for diarrhea in this case. • Pressure ulcer: Continuous pressure on one area reduces capillary blood flow. This leads to tissue ischemia and skin breakdown, especially over bony prominences like the hip and shoulder. • Atelectasis: Lying on one side restricts lung expansion, and refusal to change positions impairs ventilation. This can cause alveolar collapse and decreased oxygen exchange.
