Question 1 of 9

The client moves both crutches forward, with weight on the unaffected leg, and then moves the unaffected leg forward, shifting weight onto it. Which of the following gaits is being utilized?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Three-point gait. In a three-point gait, one leg is non-weight bearing, as described in the scenario where the client shifts weight onto the unaffected leg. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A two-point gait involves partial weight-bearing on both legs, a four-point gait involves weight-bearing on both legs, and 'Unaffected gait' is not a recognized term in gait patterns.

Question 2 of 9

A client does not understand why vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible. What is the best explanation?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. In glaucoma, the optic nerve damage due to high intraocular pressure leads to permanent vision loss because the nerve fibers do not regenerate. Choice A is incorrect as it discusses bacterial infection, not relevant to glaucoma. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to retinal detachment, not glaucoma. Choice D is incorrect because not all glaucoma cases lead to permanent blindness; vision loss can be prevented or slowed with treatment.
