Question

1. after completing ambulation, what should you do next? *

a. leave the patient at the bedside
b. help the patient return to bed or chair safely and ensure call light is within reach
c. remove the gait belt and walk away

1. under what circumstance can you not ambulate a patient? *

a. the patient has not walked since being admitted to the current floor
b. the nurse requested for you to walk the patient alone
c. the patient is not a fall risk patient

Explanation:

For question 7, after ambulation, the patient's safety is crucial. Leaving the patient at bedside (A) is unsafe without proper positioning. Removing the gait belt and walking away (C) ignores patient's need for a safe return. Helping the patient return safely and ensuring call light is reachable (B) is standard care.
For question 8, if a nurse asks to walk the patient alone (B), it may violate safety protocols (e.g., if patient is high - risk and needs more assistance). A patient not walking since admission (A) might still be ambulated with proper assessment. A non - fall - risk patient (C) can usually be ambulated.

Answer:

1. B. Help the patient return to bed or chair safely and ensure call light is within reach
2. B. The nurse requested for you to walk the patient alone
