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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: When the client moves, he should move the cane forward first. This is because the cane provides additional support and stability to the client during ambulation. By moving the cane forward first, the client can ensure proper weight distribution and balance while walking. This sequence also helps to reduce the risk of falls and provides a smoother gait pattern.

Incorrect choices:
A: The client should hold the cane on the weak side of his body. This is incorrect because the cane should be held on the strong side to provide support to the weaker side of the body.
B: The grip should be level with the client's waist. This is incorrect as the cane grip should be at the level of the greater trochanter for optimal support.
D: The client should first move the strong leg, then the weak one. This is incorrect as the cane should be moved forward first to provide stability before advancing the legs.
