A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has decreased mobility and requires repositioning every 2 hr. Which of the following outcomes should the nurse expect?

A. The client was discharged to home without developing complications of immobility: Repositioning a client every 2 hours is a key intervention to prevent pressure injuries, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of complications such as skin breakdown, deep vein thrombosis, and pneumonia. Achieving discharge without immobility-related complications indicates that preventive measures were effective. B. The client returned to the facility 2 days after being discharged due to a urinary tract infection: Development of a urinary tract infection shortly after discharge may be related to catheter use, incontinence, or urinary stasis, but frequent repositioning does not directly prevent UTIs. This outcome suggests a complication occurred despite nursing interventions. C. The client developed a rash on their back and lower extremities: Skin rashes may indicate irritation, allergic reactions, or moisture-associated skin damage. Repositioning helps relieve pressure and reduce friction but does not directly prevent all types of rashes. The appearance of a rash reflects a complication related to skin integrity rather than an expected outcome. D. The client refuses to eat because they are nauseated: Nausea and refusal of food are unrelated to repositioning frequency. While immobility can contribute to gastrointestinal stasis, this outcome does not reflect the effectiveness of repositioning interventions for preventing pressure injuries or related complications.
