      Place the IV pole on the opposite side as the site of infusion and instruct patient to hold and pull the pole while ambulating.

    Correct Answer
    B. Place the IV pole on the same side as the site of infusion and instruct patient to hold and push the pole while ambulating.
    Explanation
    To proceed with ambulation for a second day post-surgery patient with an IV medication that cannot be removed, the IV pole should be placed on the same side as the site of infusion. Instructing the patient to hold and push the pole while ambulating ensures that the patient can maintain stability and balance while also keeping the IV line secure. Placing the IV pole on the opposite side or instructing the patient to hold and pull the pole may cause discomfort or compromise the integrity of the IV line.

    If a patient uses a walker and is hemiplegic (one-sided paralysis) or has hemiparesis (one-sided weakness) and you needed to assist him/her, where do you stand?

    • A.

      If a patient is hemiplegic or has hemiparesis, stand next to his/her strong side

    Correct Answer
    A. If a patient is hemiplegic or has hemiparesis, stand next to his/her strong side
    Explanation
    When a patient is hemiplegic or has hemiparesis, it means that one side of their body is paralyzed or weak. By standing next to their strong side, you are providing support and assistance to the side that has more mobility and strength. This allows you to help the patient maintain balance and stability while walking with the walker, as well as provide assistance if they need it.
