Turning the client every two hours helps to prevent pressure ulcers and promotes circulation. Turning the client every hour may be too frequent and disrupt their rest, while turning every four hours may not provide enough opportunity for repositioning and prevention of pressure ulcers. Turning only at each shift would not provide enough regular repositioning.
