مريض يستخدم عكازين ويمشي بدون حمل على الرجل اليسرى. أي تعليم صحيح؟

A client uses crutches with no weight-bearing on the left leg. Which teaching is correct?

1. Advance the injured leg before the crutches
2. Lean on the armpits to reduce tiredness
3. Bear weight on the hands, not the armpits
4. Go down stairs with the good leg first

Answer: C) Bear weight on the hands, not the armpits. Axillary pressure injures nerves; weight goes on the hands with 2–3 finger-widths below the axilla. On stairs: up with the good leg, down with crutches and the injured leg.
