B
B. Reduce number of pain medications used when possible.
A. Have diuretics taken early in day and not at night.
C. Space antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics at different times to minimize side effects.
D. Medications that are likely to cause confusion should be administered at bedtime.

Positioning of patients to maintain correct body alignment is essential in preventing complications. These complications include pressure ulcers, which can develop in 24 hours and require months to heal, and contractures, which can occur within a few days when muscles, tendons, and joints become less flexible because of lack of mobility and incorrect alignment.
