Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frequent position changes are important in preventing pressure ulcers and contractures by reducing the amount of pressure and stress placed on the same areas of the body for extended periods of time.

Answer: B
 Frequent position changes can also help protect individuals from injury and falls by minimizing the risk of being in one position for too long, which can lead to muscle weakness or fatigue, and reduce mobility and balance.

Answer: C and D are incorrect
 While frequent position changes can cause some discomfort and restlessness in some individuals, they are still important for maintaining overall health and well-being. Additionally, depending on the individual's condition, frequent position changes may not require an order from the doctor but rather may be part of the standard care plan.
