rationale: The stool test for occult blood is not primarily designed to detect bacteria.

rationale: Parasites are not typically detected through a stool test for occult blood.

rationale: Steatorrhea refers to the presence of excess fat in the stool and is not the primary focus of a stool test for occult blood.

rationale: A client who is confined to bedrest may not need a gait belt as they are not ambulating.

rationale: A client with a thoracic incision may not necessarily need a gait belt for ambulation unless there are specific mobility concerns.

rationale: A client with an abdominal incision may not necessarily need a gait belt for ambulation unless there are specific mobility concerns.

rationale: A client with paraplegia may be at risk for pressure injuries, but the combination of age, walker use, incontinence, and cardiac history increases the risk in Choice A.

rationale: A comatose client with a traumatic brain injury is at risk, but other factors in Choice A contribute to a higher overall risk.

rationale: A client who uses a cane and has dementia may be at risk, but the combination of age, walker use, incontinence, and cardiac history increases the risk in Choice A.

rationale: Decubitus ulcers (pressure ulcers) are not directly prevented by applying padded boots for dorsiflexion.

rationale: Pooling of blood is not a primary concern addressed by applying padded boots for dorsiflexion.

rationale: Blood pressure changes are not directly addressed by applying padded boots for dorsiflexion.

rationale: Polyuria refers to excessive production of urine, so "Inadequate elimination of urine" is not an accurate description.

rationale: Polyuria does not mean the absence of urine; rather, it implies an increased urinary volume.

rationale: Polyuria is not related to difficult or uncomfortable voiding.

Elevating the head of the bed can increase the risk of sliding down the bed when moving a client. It may be appropriate in certain situations, such as when repositioning the client for comfort, but it is not the first step when moving a client up in bed.

While collaboration with other healthcare providers is important, this is not the immediate action the nurse should take when moving a client in bed. The focus should be on the safe and proper technique for moving the client.

Maintaining a pillow under the client's head can be helpful for comfort, but it is not necessary for the process of moving the client up in bed. The focus should be on the proper technique for repositioning, such as ensuring the client is properly aligned and supported.

rationale: Adding the first voiding to the specimen is not the correct initial step.

rationale: Keeping the urine warm during collection is important, but it is not the first step in the process.

rationale: Beginning the collection at a specific time is part of the process but not the initial step.

rationale: Carrying an air-filled ball while wading through the water across the width of a pool is an isotonic exercise.

rationale: Walking at a rate of 3 miles (5 km)/hour around a racetrack is an isotonic exercise.

rationale: Sitting in a chair with a low weight on the side and lifting the knee to the seat level of the chair is an isotonic exercise.

rationale: Bloody stool is not a typical characteristic of stool from an ileostomy.

rationale: Mucus-filled stool is not the primary characteristic of stool from an ileostomy.

rationale: Soft semi-formed stool is not typical of an ileostomy; the stool is more liquid in consistency.
