Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a spinal cord injury at the fourth cervical level. Which of the following mobility options should the nurse anticipate for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A sip-and-puff device is appropriate for a C4 spinal cord injury, as it allows control of a powered wheelchair using breath, accommodating limited or no upper extremity function. Manual and ultra-light wheelchairs require upper limb strength, and drive-adapted wheelchairs typically need some hand function, making them less suitable.
