Immediately after log-rolling a client to a lateral position, which intervention should the practical nurse (PN) implement?

Log-rolling is a technique used to safely turn a client who requires immobilization of the spine or has limited mobility. After log-rolling the client to a lateral position, it is important to maintain proper alignment to prevent injury and promote comfort. Placing pillows strategically can help support and maintain the client's alignment in the lateral position. The other options mentioned are not the immediate interventions following log-rolling: B. Raising the head of the bed 30 degrees may be indicated for specific medical conditions or interventions, but it is not the immediate intervention after log-rolling. C. Flexing the legs and placing a blanket between them is a positioning technique used for preventing skin breakdown and pressure ulcers, but it is not the immediate intervention after log-rolling. D. Measuring the blood pressure and pulse rate is an important nursing assessment, but it is not the immediate intervention after log-rolling.
