A nurse is teaching a client how to use crutches safely. Which instruction should the nurse emphasize to prevent falls and injury?
1Place the crutches as far forward as possible with each step to cover more ground quickly
2Keep the crutches close to the body and maintain three points of contact at all times✓ 정답
3Lean heavily on the crutches to reduce weight bearing on the affected leg
4Move both crutches simultaneously with the unaffected leg for faster mobility
해설
Maintaining three points of contact (e.g., two crutches and one foot) ensures stability and prevents falls during crutch walking. Other options promote unsafe practices like overreaching, leaning heavily, or moving crutches simultaneously, which increase fall risk.
