護理師正在指導病人第一次使用手杖。哪項指導最能確保病人的安全?
The nurse is teaching a client how to use a cane for the first time. Which instruction is most appropriate to ensure the client's safety?
- AKeep the cane 12 inches in front of the feet at all times.手杖應始終保持在雙腳前方 12 英吋處
- BMove the stronger leg forward first followed by the cane.先移動較強健的腿,然後再移動手杖
- CHold the cane on the stronger side of the body.✓ 正解將手杖握於身體較強健的一侧
- DHold the cane on the weaker side of the body.將手杖握於身體較虛弱的一侧

使用手杖的核心原則是「持於強健側」。這樣可以與患側形成更寬的支撐基底,並在患側跨步時分擔體重,模擬正常的行走步態。若持於患側,則無法有效支撐重心移動。步行時應先跨出手杖與患側,再跨出健側。手杖尖端應放在足部側前方約 15-25 公分處,而非始終保持 12 英吋(約 30 公分),以免重心過度前傾。
The client should hold the cane on the stronger side of the body to provide optimal support and mimic natural gait patterns. This positioning allows the cane and the weaker leg to move forward together, ensuring stability and proper weight distribution.

基本原則一致,但美國 NCLEX 強調 UAP(護理助理)可協助已學會者行走,但「初次衛教」必須由 RN 執行。
