1 -- The nurse should anticipate this patient’s needs for analgesia and administer pain medication to promote the patient’s comfort during the exercise session. Arm exercise is not related to the amount of urine in the catheter bag. Linen changes do not impact range of motion activities. The burn’s dressing is changed according to the physician’s orders or as needed.
