A. Keeping spare crutch tips handy is a proactive approach to ensure that if the current tips become worn out or damaged, they can be replaced promptly. This helps maintain stability and prevent accidents.
B. Proper use of crutches involves bearing weight on the hands and not on the armpits. If a client bears weight on the armpits, it can lead to nerve damage and discomfort. The correct technique is to distribute weight through the hands and wrists while using the crutches for support, not directly on the armpits.
C. Regular inspection of crutches for signs of wear is important for safety. Checking for issues like worn tips, loose fittings, or damaged parts helps prevent accidents and ensures that the crutches are functioning properly.
D. This statement indicates a need for further teaching. Using crutches that are not specifically fitted for the client can lead to improper use and potential injury. Crutches should be properly adjusted to the user's height and needs. If the crutches from another person are not correctly sized or adjusted, they may not provide adequate support or safety.

C. Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. It is not typically associated with eating disorders.
D. OCD is often comorbid with eating disorders. Individuals with OCD may have obsessive thoughts about food, weight, or body image, leading to compulsive behaviors such as excessive exercise or restrictive eating.
E. Depression is one of the most common comorbidities associated with eating disorders. Individuals with eating disorders may experience feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness, which can contribute to their disordered eating behaviors.
