Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about the use of crutches using a three-point gait to a client who has a tibia fracture. Which of the following actions by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Positioning both hands on the grips with elbows slightly flexed ensures proper weight distribution and stability while using crutches with a three-point gait. By having elbows slightly flexed, the client maintains control and reduces strain on the arms and shoulders.
Choice B is incorrect because the client should move both crutches simultaneously with the weaker leg forward first to maintain balance.
Choice C is incorrect because leaning on the axillary crutch pads can lead to nerve damage and decreased circulation.
Choice D is incorrect because when going up stairs, the client should step with the unaffected leg first for safety and balance.
