A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client about proper use of a cane for maximum support. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. "I will hold my cane on my stronger side." The cane should be held on the stronger (unaffected) side to provide better support and stability while allowing the weaker leg to move more freely. B. "I should hold my cane 12 inches from my side." The cane should be positioned about 6–10 inches to the side of the foot to ensure proper balance and support. C. "I will keep my elbow flexed at a 90-degree angle while moving my cane." The elbow should be flexed at about 15–30 degrees, not 90 degrees, to maintain comfort and proper control of the cane. D. "I should move my weaker leg before moving my cane." The correct sequence is to move the cane first, then move the weaker leg forward, followed by the stronger leg, which provides better stability and reduces fall risk.
