Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nurse supervises and aids personnel when there is a health care provider's order to logroll a patient. Patients who have suffered from spinal cord injury or are recovering from neck, back, or spinal surgery often need to keep the spinal column in straight alignment to prevent further injury. Hypostatic pneumonia, total knee replacement, and Stage IV ulcers do not have to be logrolled.
