What should the nurses do to conform to proper body mechanics? o Position the nurses on either side of the bed with their feet apart, gather the pull sheet close to the client, turn toward the head of the bed, and then move the client. Rationale Positioning the nurses on either side of the bed with their feet apart, gathering the pull sheet close to the client, turning toward the head of the bed, and then moving the client places both nurses in a stable position in functional alignment, thereby minimizing stress on muscles , joints, ligaments, and tendons. The client should be instructed to fold the arms across the chest; this keeps the client's weight toward the center of the mass being moved and keeps the arms safe during the move up in bed. The nurses should assist the cl ient in flexing the knees and placing the feet flat on the bed; this enables the client to push the body upward using a major muscle group. The client's assistance to the best of his or her ability reduces physical stress on the nurses as they move the cli ent up in bed. On the count of three, weight should be shifted from the back to the front leg, not the front to the back leg. This action generates movement in the direction that the client is being moved. • The nurse introduces himself or herself to the client while measuring the client’s body temperature. What is the reason for this introduction? o To decrease the client’s anxiety Rationale When the nurse introduces herself or himself to the client, this action decreases anxiety in the client. Explaining the procedure to the client will help to gain the client’s cooperation. Identifying a client by his or her identification band will help to ensure the correct client is receiving the correct procedure. Assembling the thermometer, providing soft disposable tissues, having a lubricant pen and note pad, having disposable gloves, and having a plastic sleeve will promote an efficiently completed procedure.
