A resident uses a walker. Where should it be kept when she is in bed?
- A.Close to the bed so she can reach it before standing
- B.In the hallway where staff can watch that no one trips
- C.At the far side of the room to encourage more walking
- D.In another resident's room who needs it this morning
Correct answer
A. Close to the bed so she can reach it before standing
Why
A walker out of reach tempts a resident to stand and walk without it. Keeping it close, in her own room, supports safe, independent movement.
