Question

A client has a discectomy and fusion for a herniated nucleus pulposus. when getting out of the bed for the first time since surgery, the client reports feeling faint and lightheaded. what should the nurses assisting with the ambulation have the client do

Answer 1

The nurses who are aiding with the ambulation have to do is to help the client to sit on the end of the bed so they can hold him straight because sitting keeps the patient's back to align and it also allows the nurses to hold the client until orthostatic hypotension ease off.
