A nurse should reinforce teaching about how to use a three-point gait for which of the following clients requiring crutches?

A. A client who can bear full weight on both legs does not require a three-point gait; a normal or two-point gait is sufficient. B. A client with bilateral lower extremity paralysis cannot use crutches effectively and would require a wheelchair or other mobility device. C. Partial weight-bearing on both legs requires a modified gait, not a standard three-point gait. D. A three-point gait is appropriate for a client who is non–weight bearing on one leg, allowing the client to advance both crutches and the unaffected leg together while keeping weight off the injured leg.
