A nurse is teaching about safe positioning with the caregiver of a client who has right-sided hemiplegia following a stroke. Which of the following statements by the caregiver indicates an understanding of the teaching?

"I will ensure their neck is flexed backwards when they're lying on their stomach."

"I will support their feet with a rolled pillow when they are lying on their back."

"I will rest their heels on the mattress when they are sitting up in bed."

"I will use a thick pillow under their head to support the neck."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

B. Supporting the feet with a rolled pillow helps prevent foot drop (a common issue in hemiplegia). It maintains the ankle in a neutral position, preventing contractures.
A. When lying on the stomach (prone position), the neck should be neutral (neither flexed nor extended). Flexing the neck backward can strain the cervical spine and compromise airway alignment.
C. For a client with right-sided hemiplegia, the affected leg (right leg) should be supported to prevent foot drop.
D. A thick pillow under the head can cause neck hyperextension.
The head should be supported with a small, firm pillow to maintain a neutral neck position.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Kale is high in vitamin K, which can antagonize the effects of warfarin. Warfarin works by inhibiting vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, so consuming large amounts of vitamin K-rich foods like kale can reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, leading to a decrease in the INR.

Orange juice, beef stew and yogurt have no interactions with warfarin.

A. A client who has pancreatitis reports pain in the left shoulder. B. A client who has peritonitis reports generalized abdominal pain. C. A client who is postoperative reports incisional pain. D. A client who has angina reports substernal chest pain.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Referred pain occurs when pain is felt in an area distant from the actual source of the pain. In pancreatitis, irritation of the diaphragm or phrenic nerve can cause pain to be referred to the left shoulder due to shared nerve pathways.
