Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client's ability to ambulate with crutches using a three-point gait. Which of the following actions should the nurse identify as a risk to the client's safety?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because keeping the elbows in a fixed position during ambulation with crutches using a three-point gait can lead to increased strain on the shoulders and wrists, potentially causing discomfort or injury. It is important for the client to have fluid movement and flexibility in the elbows to maintain proper balance and distribute weight evenly while walking. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Pushing downward on the handgrips helps provide stability and support. B: Standing in a tripod position before walking is a recommended starting position for stability. C: Placing partial weight on the affected leg is necessary for balance and proper weight distribution.
