Which action is a consideration for a client with an arrhythmia?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elevating the upper body in the supine position is a consideration for clients with arrhythmia to improve comfort and reduce symptoms. Avoiding the supine position if the client has shortness of breath is also a consideration, but this option is not provided in the answer choices. Increasing treatment time to 90 minutes is irrelevant and not a consideration for clients with arrhythmia. Massage is not contraindicated for arrhythmia, but caution should be taken and modifications may need to be made to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
