Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. "I have a set of my brother's crutches in my basement that I can also use.

Crutches must be individually fitted to the user’s height and arm length to prevent nerve injury and ensure safe mobility. Using another person’s crutches is unsafe.

B. "I will keep spare crutch tips handy."

Crutch tips can wear out or become slippery. Keeping extras on hand is a good safety measure.

C. "I will bear the weight of my body on my hands."

Weight should be borne through the hands and not the underarms to avoid brachial nerve damage (crutch palsy).

D. "I will inspect my crutches every day for signs of wear."

Daily inspection of crutch tips and padding helps ensure safety and durability.

A. left the patient with the lap robe tucked underneath. B. left the brakes of the wheelchair unlocked. C. placed the patient's feet centered on the footrests. D. placed slippers on the patient.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Left the patient with the lap robe tucked underneath.

A lap robe is used for warmth and comfort; tucking it under does not pose a risk.

B. Left the brakes of the wheelchair unlocked.

Wheelchair brakes must be locked during transfers to prevent the chair from moving and causing a fall.

C. Placed the patient's feet centered on the footrests.

Feet should be properly placed to avoid dragging or injury.

D. Placed slippers on the patient.

This is appropriate as long as the slippers are non-skid, providing safe footing during transfer.
