B. Supine with trochanter rolls to the hips.

C. Sim's position alternated with right lateral position q2 hours.

affected side, which can impair circulation and cause pain, and includes the prone position

to help prevent flexion contractures of the hips, prepares the client for optimal functioning

and ambulation.

Which preexisting diagnosis places a client at the greatest risk of developing superior vena

cava syndrome?

A. Carotid stenosis.

B. Steatosis hepatitis.

C. Metastatic cancer.

D. Clavicular fracture.

C

Rationale

Superior vena cava syndrome occurs when the superior vena cava (SVC) is compressed by

heart. Superior vena cava syndrome is likely to occur with metastatic cancer from a

primary tumor in the upper lobe of the right lung that compresses the superior vena cava.
