Justine is a nursing assistant who is helping Felix into the sitting position on his bed. She has just pivoted Felix's legs over

the side of the bed and is having him hold the edge of the mattress She then tells Felix to take some deep breaths and
swing his legs. She then asks if he is dizzy. Which step most likely promoted circulation for Felix?

Answer:

swinging his legs

Step-by-step explanation:

having said patient laying in bed for long periods of time tend to slow the circulation in the legs. Not only having him put his legs down, then then to add motion will promote circulation.

hope this helps!! if not I'd love an explanation so I can learn from this too!!!
