Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because reporting less fatigue when walking up stairs indicates improved physical endurance, showing progress in increasing daily activity. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because decreased social interaction, increased NSAID use, and experiencing a fall are not indicators of successful progress in increasing daily physical activity.

3. The nurse uses proper body mechanics to move a client up in bed. What action by the nurse will increase their risk of a workplace injury?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Placing the bed in the lowest possible position increases the risk of injury because it does not support proper body mechanics. When lifting a client, it is important to have the bed at a comfortable height to avoid strain. Using the legs when lifting (choice B) is correct as it reduces the strain on the back. Keeping feet apart to provide a wide base of support (choice C) helps with stability and balance. Facing the direction of the movement (choice D) is essential for maintaining proper alignment and reducing the risk of injury.
