A nurse is ordering a breakfast meal tray for a client who has dysphagia and a prescription for a mechanically altered diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse select?

A. Measure and record the client's leg circumferences daily. This is correct because measuring leg circumference helps assess for changes in swelling and monitor the progression or improvement of deep-vein thrombosis.
B. Place the client with their knees in a sharply flexed position. This is incorrect because sharply flexing the knees can impede blood flow and increase the risk of clot formation. The client should be encouraged to keep their legs extended and slightly elevated.
C. Monitor the client's RBCs every 4 hr. This is incorrect because deep-vein thrombosis does not typically require frequent RBC monitoring. Instead, coagulation studies such as PT, aPTT, and INR are more relevant.
D. Administer warfarin PO daily. This is incorrect because warfarin is contraindicated during pregnancy due to its teratogenic effects. Instead, low-molecular-weight heparin or unfractionated heparin is the preferred anticoagulant during pregnancy.

A. I will turn the car seat forward facing when my baby is 1 year old. This is incorrect because the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping infants in a rear-facing car seat until at least 2 years of age or until they reach the maximum height and weight limit specified by the car seat manufacturer.
B. I will place the retainer clip on my baby's upper abdomen. This is incorrect because the retainer clip should be positioned at armpit level to properly secure the straps and protect the baby in case of a collision.
C. I will position the shoulder harness straps 3 inches above my baby's shoulders. This is incorrect because for a rear-facing car seat, the shoulder harness straps should be positioned at or just below the infant’s shoulders, not above.
D. I will position my baby at a 45-degree angle in the car seat. This is correct because positioning the baby at a 45-degree angle helps maintain an open airway and prevents airway obstruction due to the head falling forward.
