A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Correct. The nurse should turn off the CPM machine during mealtime to allow the client to eat comfortably and prevent aspiration. B. Incorrect. The nurse should maintain the client's affected hip in a neutral position to prevent dislocation of the prosthesis and promote healing. C. Incorrect. The nurse should not instruct the client how to adjust the CPM settings for comfort, as this could interfere with the prescribed range of motion and speed of the device. The nurse should notify the provider if the client reports discomfort or pain. D. Incorrect. The nurse should not store the CPM machine under the client's bed when not in use, as this could pose a safety hazard and damage the device. The nurse should place the CPM machine on a stable surface away from the bed.
