A nurse is assisting in the care of a client who is to receive a transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs). Which of the following solutions should be administered with PRBCs?

Choice A: This is incorrect because applying lotion between the toes can create a moist environment that promotes fungal growth and infection. The client should apply lotion to the feet but avoid the areas between the toes.

Choice B: This is incorrect because wearing open-toe shoes can expose the feet to injury and infection. The client should wear well-fitting, closed-toe shoes that protect the feet and prevent pressure ulcers.

Choice C: This is correct because wearing cotton socks can help keep the feet dry and prevent fungal infections. Cotton socks also provide cushioning and reduce friction.

Choice D: This is incorrect because rounding the corners of the toenails can cause ingrown nails, which can lead to infection and ulceration. The client should trim the toenails straight across and file any sharp edges.

Choice A: This is incorrect because positioning the bedside table close to the client can help them reach their personal items and reduce the need to get out of bed.

Choice B: This is incorrect because keeping the client's bed in the low position can prevent injuries in case of a fall and make it easier for the client to get in and out of bed.

Choice C: This is incorrect because attaching the call light to the side rail of the client's bed can ensure that the client can access it easily and call for assistance when needed.

Choice D: This is correct because instructing the client to wear their own socks to the bathroom can increase the risk of slipping and falling. The client should wear non-skid footwear or slippers when walking.
