A nurse is caring for a client who sustained a shoulder dislocation during a basketball game. The client's shoulder has been successfully reduced and is now in a sling. What is the most important nursing intervention to prevent complications?

Accepted Answer

보기 2: Encourage gentle range-of-motion exercises as prescribed to prevent joint stiffness

Answer
