LPN ATI Fundamental Exam | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: I will be sure to keep the crutch tips dry.' While it is important to keep the crutch tips dry to maintain traction and stability, this statement does not specifically address the correct technique for going up stairs with crutches. 'I will hold a crutch in each hand when sitting down.' This statement does not address the correct technique for going up stairs with crutches. However, it is a correct statement regarding sitting down with crutches. 'I will place my weight on my underarms.' Placing weight on the underarms is an incorrect crutch-walking technique. It can lead to nerve compression and injury. Instead, the client should bear weight on their hands and palms when using crutches. 'I will lead with my right leg when going upstairs.' Correct. When going up stairs with crutches, the client should lead with their unaffected leg (in this case, the right leg) first. The crutches are then advanced, one at a time, to the same step. This sequence ensures better stability and safety during stair climbing with crutches.
