Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing home safety information for an older adult client who uses a cane. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The cane's height should be the same as the distance from the floor to the crest of the hip bone to ensure proper support and balance while walking. This positioning helps distribute weight evenly and reduces strain on the body. Option A is incorrect because it does not provide specific guidance on cane positioning. Option B is incorrect as advancing the cane 12 to 14 inches before taking a step may not be suitable for every individual's needs. Option D is incorrect as holding the cane in the weak hand can lead to imbalance and instability.
