An 83-year-old client has been in the hospital post-surgery and on post-op day 2 is preparing to ambulate. The nurse requests the client to dangle their legs before standing. The client asks, "Why should I do this?" Which of the following responses from the nurse is best?

Your legs will be way too weak to support you.

This position will keep you safe while I check to make sure there are no obstacles to your mobility.

Dangling will help your body orient itself to your position.

Dangling will help to normalize your blood pressure, which may have dropped.
