Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should observe a swing-through gait in a client whose leg had to be amputated and who is waiting to be fitted with a prosthetic leg. Two-point and four-point gaits require the use of both legs. A one-point gait does not exist.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
An IPOP facilitates early ambulation, promotes intact body image, and controls stump swelling in clients who have undergone surgery for amputation. An IPOP does not serve to absorb drainage or compress vein walls.
