Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A walking belt is applied around the client's waist. If the client loses balance, the nurse can support him or her and prevent injuries. It is not intended to provide muscular support or tactile feedback to the client. Attaching the belt to the walker would be unsafe and counterproductive.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Involving the client in an active way is recommended for a client who has low attention and concentration power. Repeating directions several times and using verbal and visual modes of instruction are appropriate for clients with functional illiteracy but may not capture interest. Telling the client when the session will end is unlikely to increase interest.
