This option suggests a focus on complete recovery, but rehabilitative care may also focus on adapting to new circumstances if complete recovery is not possible.

This option refers to the initiation of services, which may not specifically pertain to rehabilitative care.

This option incorrectly associates rehabilitative care exclusively with long-term care facilities. While rehabilitative care may occur in such facilities, it can also occur in other settings.

This option is correct. Removing the weights periodically helps relieve pressure on the skin and prevents pressure points from developing.

Applying lotion may not effectively prevent pressure points and could potentially lead to skin irritation.

Applying a foot plate to the bed is not directly related to preventing pressure points around the edges of the splint.

An IV infusion pump may be needed for intravenous therapy but is not specific to postoperative care following intermaxillary fixation.

An NG tube may be necessary for nutritional support, but it is not directly related to postoperative care following intermaxillary fixation.

A urinary catheter tray is not specific to postoperative care following intermaxillary fixation and may not be a priority in this situation.

Stretching exercises are beneficial for improving flexibility and range of motion, which can help prevent further complications in clients with osteoporosis.

High-impact aerobics can increase the risk of fractures in individuals with osteoporosis due to the stress on bones. It is not a recommended form of exercise.

Riding a bicycle is a low-impact exercise that can be beneficial for cardiovascular health, but it may not specifically address the needs of osteoporosis.

Ecchymosis of the distal foot may be expected after the application of a cast and is not necessarily an immediate concern unless it is severe or rapidly worsening.

Dependent edema distal to the cast can occur as a normal response to immobilization. It is not an immediate concern unless it is severe or associated with other concerning symptoms.

A moderate level of pain can be expected after the application of a cast. It should be managed appropriately, but it is not an immediate concern unless it is severe or uncontrolled.

Inability to move toes may be a sign of tightness in the cast, but it is not the first finding to be expected if the cast is too tight.

Change in temperature of the toes may be a sign of impaired circulation, but it is not the earliest finding to be expected.

Edema of the toes may occur as a result of compromised circulation, but it is not the first finding to be expected if the cast is too tight.

Cool extremities are not typically associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. They may be a sign of poor circulation, but this is not a specific finding for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Decreased radial pulse is not a characteristic finding of carpal tunnel syndrome. It may indicate issues with blood flow to the hand but is not specific to this condition.

Positive Chvostek's sign is associated with hypocalcemia and involves facial muscle twitching when the facial nerve is tapped. It is not related to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Impaired taste: Impaired taste is not typically associated with pelvic fractures. It is more likely related to conditions involving the sense of taste or other unrelated factors. It is not a common complication of pelvic fractures.

Diarrhea: Diarrhea is not a common complication of pelvic fractures. It is more likely to be caused by gastrointestinal issues, infections, dietary factors, or other medical conditions. It is not directly related to pelvic fractures or their complications.

Increased thirst: Increased thirst is not a common complication of pelvic fractures. It may be related to various factors such as dehydration, certain medical conditions like diabetes, or side effects of medications. It is not a direct consequence of pelvic fractures or their associated complications.

Increasing the client's protein intake is important for overall healing, but it is not the top priority in the acute phase of osteomyelitis. The immediate priority is to administer antibiotics to address the infection.

Providing the client with antipyretic therapy (to reduce fever) is important, but it is secondary to administering antibiotics. The underlying infection must be addressed first and foremost.

Teaching relaxation breathing to reduce pain may be beneficial for the client's comfort, but it is not the priority intervention. Controlling the infection with antibiotics takes precedence.
