Title: A patient with bilateral avascular necrosis of the hips is to walk with crutches Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014 A patient with bilateral avascular necrosis of the hips is to walk with crutches using a four-point gait for 6 weeks after her bone decompression surgeries. Which statement would indicate that the patient understands this technique?
1. “The axillary bars on the crutches should support my weight when I walk.” 2. “I will move both crutches and then swing my legs to the crutches—2 and 2 equals 4!” 3. “I will move my right crutch and then my left leg and then the left crutch and my right leg.” 4. “I will move both crutches and then swing my legs through the crutches together.” This is for my medical nursing class Title: Re: A patient with bilateral avascular necrosis of the hips is to walk with crutches Post by: f_zah1 on Oct 23, 2014 Content hidden
