Which basic of client care, occurring during the acute phase, is most helpful in promoting the rehabilitation of a client following a debilitating cerebrovascular accident?

A) Prevention of joint contractures
B) Promoting ability to critically think
C) Creating a positive environment
D) Use of adaptive equipment


A
Feedback:
First addressed in the acute phase, however, impacting the rehabilitative process is the prevention of joint contractures. The nursing care provided at an early period can prevent further complications in the rehabilitative phase. Promoting the ability to critically think is not a priority in the acute phase. Creating a positive environment is helpful in motivating the client. Using adaptive equipment is not a focus in the acute phase of the disease process.
