    A nurse is reinforcing client teaching about preventing stress injuries. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I will position my body to face an object, so I avoid twisting.": Facing the object directly keeps the spine aligned and reduces rotational stress on the back and musculoskeletal system. Avoiding twisting during lifting or reaching prevents strain injuries and supports proper body mechanics. B. "I will position my arms away from my body when pushing an object.": Keeping the arms close to the body during pushing or lifting provides better leverage and reduces musculoskeletal strain. Extending the arms away increases the risk of shoulder and back injury. C. "I will position my legs close together before lifting.": Maintaining a wide base of support with feet shoulder-width apart enhances stability and balance during lifting. Legs close together decrease stability and increase risk of falls or back injury. D. "I will position objects away from my body before lifting them.": Objects should be kept close to the body during lifting to reduce leverage forces on the spine. Holding objects away increases torque on the back and risk of musculoskeletal injury.
