The nurse is caring for a client with right-sided weakness. When transferring the client from the bed to a wheelchair, which action should the nurse perform?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Placing the wheelchair on the unaffected side (left) allows the client to pivot on their stronger side. Affected-side placement, removing slippers, or pulling the arm risk injury or falls.
