A nurse is creating a plan of care for a client who has left-sided weakness following a stroke. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

A is incorrect because massaging bony prominences on the client's left side can increase the risk of skin breakdown and pressure ulcers. The nurse should avoid applying pressure to areas with impaired circulation or sensation. B is correct because supporting the client's left arm on a pillow while sitting can prevent edema, contractures, and nerve damage. The nurse should also encourage the client to perform active and passive range of motion exercises on their left arm. C is incorrect because positioning the bedside table on the client's left side can discourage the client from using their right side, which can lead to neglect and learned nonuse. The nurse should position the bedside table on the client's right side and encourage them to reach for items with their right hand. D is incorrect because placing the client's cane on their left side while ambulating can cause instability and falls. The nurse should place the cane on the client's right side and instruct them to move their left leg and cane together, followed by their right leg.
