Question 1 of 5

A nurse at an extended-care facility is instructing a class of assistive personnel (AP) about client use of assistive devices during ambulation. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the APs about the clients' use of a cane?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: When the client moves, he should move the cane forward first. This is because the cane provides stability and support, so it should be used to bear weight and provide balance before the client moves their weaker leg. Moving the cane forward first helps to ensure the client maintains balance and stability during ambulation.


Choice A is incorrect as moving the strong leg first can disrupt balance and increase the risk of falls.
Choice B is incorrect as the cane should be held on the stronger side to provide support to the weaker side.
Choice C is incorrect as the grip of the cane should be at the level of the client's greater trochanter, not the waist, to optimize support and stability.
