  1. Assist in bathing a client with Guillain-Barre’ syndrome who is on the ventilator.
  2. Assist in bathing a client with pneumonia who is acutely short of breath.
  3. Assist in ambulating a client with a hemothorax and chest tube to water seal.
  4. Assist in feeding a client with a stroke and swallowing difficulties.
