Question

Which of the following nursing interventions is correctly written? (Select all that apply. Apply a continuous passive motion machine during the day

B- Conducting neurological tests

C - Raise the head of the bed 30 degrees before meals

D- Change dressing once shift

Answer 1

The correctly written nursing intervention from the provided options is 'Raise the head of the bed 30 degrees before meals'. For impaired sensory functions, a neurologist might perform a test that uses a 128 Hz tuning fork placed over a bone. The correct option is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the listed nursing interventions is correctly written. Out of the options provided:

• Apply a continuous passive motion machine during the day is not entirely correct because it lacks specificity regarding the frequency or duration.
• Conducting neurological tests is also not correctly written; it should be more specific and include details such as the type of test and timeframe.
• Raise the head of the bed 30 degrees before meals is a correctly written nursing intervention as it states a clear action, degree, and timing.
• Change dressing once shift needs to specify which shift to be a complete intervention.

Since the question also involves identifying a neurological exam that might be performed if a patient had impaired sensory functions, a neurologist might:

• Place a 128 Hz tuning fork over a bone to assess vib_ratory sensation and peripheral neuropathy, which is a possible exam for impaired sensory functions.
