<span>The nurse should put the client at prone position a couple of times in a day for about 20 minutes to prevent hip flexion contracture. The client can be position in supine but the stump must be elevated for the first 24 hours by uplifting the foot of the bed instead of using pillow. The elevation of residual limb after surgery helps lessen edema and pain by increasing venous return and decreasing venous pooling at the distal portion of the extremity.</span>

The nurse should position the client at a prone position every 3 to 4 hours for 20 to 30 minutes periods. This should be done periodically. Arterial insufficiency is any condition that slows or stops the flow of blood through your arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that circulate blood from the heart to other parts of the body.

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables
trasher [3.6K]

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.

When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.
