    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

    Rationale: A. "I will position my arms away from my body when pushing an object.": Keeping the arms close to the body provides better leverage and reduces strain on the muscles and joints. Extending arms away increases risk of injury. B. "I will position my body to face an object, so I avoid twisting: Facing the object directly helps maintain proper spinal alignment and reduces the risk of back injury by minimizing twisting motions during lifting or pushing. C. "I will position my legs close together before lifting.": Keeping legs close together decreases stability and increases risk of losing balance. A wider stance improves balance and distributes weight evenly during lifting. D. "I will position objects away from my body before lifting them.": Objects should be held close to the body to reduce strain on the back and arms. Holding objects away increases lever arm forces and injury risk.
