A student nurse is instructing a patient restricted to partial weight-bearing on the safe use of crutches. A nurse intervenes when she hears the student say:
 
  1. If the knee is flexed and the foot is held behind the crutches, it can affect your balance, causing you to fall backward.
  2. Since you are able to bear partial weight on the affected limb, you should use a two-point gait.
  3. Bearing weight on the axilla can cause compression of nerves and can lead to nerve damage affecting the arm and hand.
  4. When walking upstairs on crutches, you should place the affected leg on the step, then move up the crutches and the unaffected leg.
