Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Extend one leg and allow the client to slide down the leg to the floor.

It helps to control the fall, protects the client from injury, and allows the nurse to safely guide the client to the floor without using excessive force.

B. Move both feet together when the client begins to fall.

Keeping the feet together reduces stability and increases the risk of both the client and nurse falling.

C. Wrap both arms around the client's arm and shoulders.

This could cause injury to the client’s upper body and doesn't provide support for a safe fall.

D. Protect the client's extremities while lowering them to the floor.

While protecting extremities is important, the nurse’s primary action should be to use proper body mechanics (like extending one leg) to safely lower the client.

A. Turn their foot and leg away from their other leg B. Move their left forward and up C. Move their leg medially toward their other leg D. Move their leg behind their body

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Turn their foot and leg away from their other leg

This movement is called external rotation, not hyperextension.

B. Move their leg forward and up

This action is flexion of the hip.

C. Move their leg medially toward their other leg

This describes adduction, moving the limb toward the body's midline.

D. Move their leg behind their body

Hyperextension of the hip involves moving the leg backward beyond the normal range of extension.
