Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Polyuria refers to excessive production of urine, so "Inadequate elimination of urine" is not an accurate description.
Choice B rationale: Polyuria does not mean the absence of urine; rather, it implies an increased urinary volume.
Choice C rationale: Polyuria is not related to difficult or uncomfortable voiding.
Choice D rationale: Polyuria is characterized by greater than normal urinary volume, so this is the correct description.

A. decubitus ulcers. B. foot drop. C. pooling of blood. D. blood pressure changes.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Decubitus ulcers (pressure ulcers) are not directly prevented by applying padded boots for dorsiflexion.
Choice B rationale: Applying padded boots for dorsiflexion helps prevent foot drop, a condition where the foot is permanently in a plantar-flexed position, which can lead to contractures.
Choice C rationale: Pooling of blood is not a primary concern addressed by applying padded boots for dorsiflexion.
Choice D rationale: Blood pressure changes are not directly addressed by applying padded boots for dorsiflexion.
