Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting a client during ambulation when the client begins to fall. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Lower the client to the floor. This action ensures the client's safety by preventing a fall from causing further injury. Lowering the client gently to the floor minimizes the risk of impact and reduces the chance of serious harm. Providing support by holding the client's arm (
A) may not be sufficient to prevent a fall. Assuming a narrow base of support (
B) can lead to instability and increase the risk of both the nurse and the client falling. Leaning the client toward the wall (
