Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who has left hemiparesis how to use a cane. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hold the cane on the right side to provide support for the weaker leg. This is because the client with left hemiparesis should hold the cane on the opposite side of the weaker leg to provide support and stability. By holding the cane on the right side, the client can shift weight and balance onto the stronger right side, allowing for better support and balance while walking. This positioning also helps to reduce the risk of falls and promotes safe ambulation.


Choice B is incorrect as placing the cane approximately 61 cm in front of the feet before advancing is not a recommended guideline for cane use.
Choice C is incorrect as advancing the right leg and cane together does not provide optimal support for the weaker leg.
Choice D is incorrect as removing the rubber tip when using the cane is unnecessary and may compromise safety and stability during ambulation.
