Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a provider's office is assessing the deep tendon reflexes of a client. Which of the following images should the nurse identify as indicating the correct technique for eliciting the client's patellar reflex?

Question Image

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the image depicts the correct technique for eliciting the patellar reflex. When assessing the patellar reflex, the client should be sitting with their legs dangling over the edge of the table, and the examiner should tap below the patella with a reflex hammer. This position allows for optimal relaxation of the quadriceps muscle and easy access to the patellar tendon, resulting in a more accurate reflex response.


Choice B is incorrect because tapping above the patella can lead to an inaccurate response as it does not target the patellar tendon directly.

Choices C and D are incorrect as they involve incorrect client positions that do not facilitate the proper assessment of the patellar reflex.
