Explanation:

4.

• Repositioning every 4 hours in bed is too long as it can lead to pressure ulcers. Physical activity should not be avoided. Performing all personal care tasks may not promote independence. Reminding to reposition every 15 minutes in a wheelchair helps prevent pressure sores.

• Pushing is often better than pulling. Gait belts and mechanical lifts should be used when needed. Standing all the time is not practical. Avoiding unnatural positions helps prevent injury.

Answer:

Remind Jane to reposition herself every 15 minutes when sitting in her wheelchair.
