Choice A reason: Having the client put both arms around the nurse’s neck is unsafe, as it compromises the nurse’s balance and risks injury. Right-sided hemiplegia from a left CVA impairs the right arm’s strength, reducing grip reliability. This method does not leverage the client’s stronger left side, increasing fall risk and straining the nurse’s musculoskeletal system during the transfer. Choice B reason: Placing the wheelchair on the client’s left side is optimal, as right-sided hemiplegia affects the right limbs, leaving the left side stronger. A left CVA damages the brain’s right motor cortex, impairing contralateral control. Positioning the wheelchair on the left allows the client to use their functional left arm and leg for support, ensuring a safer, controlled transfer. Choice C reason: Instructing slow, deep breaths may reduce anxiety but does not address physical transfer mechanics. Right-sided hemiplegia requires leveraging the left side’s strength, as the right side lacks motor control post-CVA. Breathing techniques do not compensate for impaired muscle coordination or balance, making this less effective for ensuring a safe wheelchair transfer. Choice D reason: Instructing the client to look at their feet may disrupt balance by shifting focus downward, increasing fall risk. Right-sided hemiplegia requires the client to rely on the left side’s proprioception and strength. Visual focus should remain forward to maintain posture and spatial awareness, making this an inappropriate action for a safe transfer.
