Feedback
A Incorrect: If the child who is on bedrest has edema, the nurse would not most likely find it in the ankles. If the child is ambulatory, dependent edema will be evident in the ankles.
B Correct: The nurse is assessing a child who is on bed rest to see if the child has edema. If the child has edema, the nurse most likely will find it in the sacral area upon assessment.
