A nurse is teaching a client about prevention of injury when lifting. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. "A narrow base of support is recommended for effective lifting." A wide base of support provides more stability and balance, reducing the risk of injury. B. "Make sure to bend at the waist when lifting objects more than 30 pounds." Bending at the knees, not the waist, helps maintain a neutral spine and prevents back strain. C. "Use a twisting motion when moving objects to prevent back strain." Twisting while lifting can cause spinal injuries; instead, move the entire body by pivoting the feet. D. "Stand close to a heavy object before attempting to lift it." Standing close to the object reduces strain on the back and improves control during lifting.
