Question 1 of 5
A nurse is observing a client who has right-sided weakness ambulate using a cane. Which of the following actions by the client should alert the nurse that further teaching is necessary?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. When a client has right-sided weakness, the cane should be held on the unaffected side to provide support and stability. Holding the cane on the affected side can lead to imbalance and increased risk of falls. This incorrect technique can jeopardize the client's safety and hinder the effectiveness of using the cane for support.
Choices B, C, and D are all appropriate techniques for using a cane and do not indicate a need for further teaching. B: Keeping two points of support on the ground ensures stability. C: Advancing the cane before moving the unaffected leg helps with balance and support. D: Supporting weight on both legs when moving the cane forward is a proper weight distribution technique.
