A nurse is caring for a hospitalized client at risk for complications of immobility. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include to prevent complications?

Choice A reason: Elevating the head of the bed may be appropriate for certain medications or conditions but does not directly address immobility complications such as pressure injuries or deconditioning. Choice B reason: Remaining in bed increases the risk of complications such as deep vein thrombosis, muscle atrophy, and pressure ulcers. Mobility should be encouraged. Choice C reason: Wearing a hospital gown does not influence mobility or prevent complications. It is a comfort or hygiene measure. Choice D reason: Sitting in a chair for meals promotes mobility, improves digestion, and reduces the risk of pressure injuries and respiratory complications.
