Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about crutch walking using the three-point gait. Which of the following statements by the nurse should be included in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because in the three-point gait, the client should move both crutches forward while standing on the unaffected leg, then lift and swing the body past the crutches. This technique ensures proper weight distribution and stability.
Choice B is incorrect as looking down at the feet can compromise balance.
Choice C is incorrect as weight should be supported through the hands and not the underarm crutch pads.
Choice D is incorrect as it describes the four-point gait, not the three-point gait.
