A certified nursing assistant (CNA) is assisting a patient into a wheelchair. The nurse intervenes if the CNA has:
left the patient with the lap robe tucked underneath.
left the brakes of the wheelchair unlocked.
placed the patient's feet centered on the footrests.
placed slippers on the patient.
The Correct Answer is B
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.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Take off the rubber tips of the crutches while using stairs.
Rubber tips provide traction and prevent slipping; they must remain in place.
B. Bring the good leg up first when going up stairs.
The mnemonic “Up with the good, down with the bad” applies here. The stronger leg goes up first for stability.
C. Move the good leg and the crutches together.
Crutches move with the affected (bad) leg, not the good one.
D. Rest the axillae on the axillary bar of the crutch.
This can compress nerves and blood vessels. Weight should rest on the hand grips, not underarms.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Hyperextension
