Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who can only bear weight on one leg how to ambulate using crutches. Which of the following crutch gaits should the nurse plan to instruct the client to use?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Three-point gait. This gait is appropriate for a client who can only bear weight on one leg as it involves bearing weight on one leg while advancing both crutches forward, then advancing the unaffected leg forward. This gait provides maximum stability and support for the client.

B: Two-point alternating gait involves bearing weight on both legs alternately, which may not be suitable for a client who can only bear weight on one leg.

C: Four-point alternating gait involves bearing weight on both legs and crutches in a coordinated manner, which may be too complex for a client with limited weight-bearing ability.

D: Swing-through gait involves swinging both legs forward simultaneously, which is not suitable for a client who can only bear weight on one leg.


Therefore, the three-point gait is the most appropriate choice for this client.
