Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching an older adult client who has left-sided weakness about cane use. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: When walking, move your left foot forward first. This instruction is important because the client has left-sided weakness, so moving the left foot first helps provide support and stability on the weaker side. This ensures proper weight distribution and reduces the risk of falls. Option B is incorrect because keeping the elbow straight can lead to discomfort and poor control. Option C is incorrect as moving the cane too far ahead can cause imbalance. Option D is incorrect as the cane should be held on the stronger side for better support.
