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. Placing partial weight on the affected leg while using crutches with a three-point gait can increase the risk of injury as it defeats the purpose of offloading weight from the affected leg. This can lead to further strain or damage to the injured limb. Standing in a tripod position (
A) before walking is a common technique in using crutches. Pushing downward on the handgrips (
B) and keeping the elbows in a flexed position (
C) are correct techniques for proper crutch use.
