Question

The nurse is encouraging the client to use hand rolls to prevent contractures. Which statement by the client indicates that further teaching is necessary?

Answer 1

"The hand rolls help me to develop strength in my grip."

Step-by-step explanation:

Contracture occurs when the muscle contracts incorrectly and does not return to its normal state of relaxation. Contractures can occur on various parts of the body, such as the neck, neck, or thigh, for example, and may occur after exercising too hard, one sleepless night, or excessive body tension caused by too much stress and worry.

In the case outlined in the question, the nurse encouraged the client to use hand rollers to avoid contractures, as hand rollers limit muscle movement. Accordingly, the client indicates that more teaching is needed when he says "The hand rolls help me develop strength in my grip."
