The nurse is caring for a client who has had a below-the-knee amputation and is positioned in bed with the affected knee on a pillow. To prevent hip and knee contractures, the nurse plans to do which of the following at least once a shift?
1. Place the client in the lateral position with a pillow between the legs once a shift for 30 minutes.
2. Place the client in the semi-Fowler's position without pillows under the knees to promote extension.
3. Place the client in the prone position once a shift for 30 minutes.
4. Place the client in the high Fowler's position to fully flex the hip.
