Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who will be using a cane to maintain mobility at home following a left knee arthroplasty. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the safe use of a cane?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I will put the cane next to my right leg when I walk." Placing the cane next to the unaffected side (right leg) helps to provide support and stability when walking with the left knee arthroplasty. This position allows for the cane to bear weight and help with balance while reducing stress on the affected knee. Placing the cane on the same side as the affected leg (left leg) would not provide the necessary support. Other answer choices are incorrect because: A: Using the cane to support body weight alone may not provide proper balance and support for the affected knee. C: The type of cane is less important than the proper technique for using it. D: Moving the right leg forward first may not provide the optimal balance and support needed for the left knee arthroplasty.
