A nurse is preparing to administer olanzapine 10 mg PO. Available is olanzapine 5 mg orally disintegrating tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Stiffness in the lower extremities can occur due to lack of movement and muscle disuse. Prolonged immobility leads to muscle atrophy and contractures, causing stiffness and reduced range of motion. This is a common complication seen in clients who are bedridden or have limited mobility.
B. A reddened area over the sacrum indicates a potential pressure injury or pressure ulcer. Immobility increases the risk of pressure ulcers due to prolonged pressure on bony prominences, such as the sacrum. Regular repositioning and pressure relief strategies are essential to prevent skin breakdown in immobile clients.
C. Difficulty hearing certain types of sounds is not typically associated with immobility. It may be related to age-related changes in hearing or other auditory issues but is not a direct complication of immobility.
D. Difficulty moving the upper extremities can occur due to muscle weakness or disuse atrophy, which can result from immobility. However, it is less common compared to stiffness and difficulty in the lower extremities because upper extremities are often more frequently moved or exercised even in bedridden clients.

A. This action helps the client to clear pulmonary secretions and improve ventilation. Coughing and deep breathing exercises are essential for maintaining airway patency and preventing complications such as atelectasis and respiratory distress.
B. Monitoring the client's temperature is important to assess for fever, which can indicate infection severity or response to treatment. However, in a client actively coughing up secretions, immediate interventions to promote airway clearance take precedence over obtaining temperature.
C. Adequate hydration can help liquefy pulmonary secretions, making them easier to expectorate. However, this action is secondary to promoting effective coughing and deep breathing to clear secretions already present in the airways.

D. Chest percussion can help loosen and mobilize secretions in the lungs. However, this intervention requires assessment of the client's respiratory status and may not be appropriate as the first action without first assessing the client's tolerance and condition.
