Practice Question
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching for a client who had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and requires assistance to perform their activities of daily living (ADLs). Which of the following statements should the nurse provide?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"Install grab bars in your shower to assist with your balance."
Rationale:
🔴 Grab bars provide physical support and help prevent falls, especially for clients with impaired mobility after a CVA.
🔴 Environmental modifications increase independence for clients needing help with ADLs.
🔴 Placing a towel in the shower may slip, not prevent slipping, making it an unsafe option.
🔴 Hiring an aide for all ADLs can decrease client autonomy and is not usually necessary unless the client is severely disabled.
🔴 Using assistive devices does not eliminate fatigue; energy conservation strategies remain important.
🔴 Safety equipment like grab bars encourages safe participation in self-care and rehabilitation.
