Explanation:

• Question 4: When a patient starts to fall while ambulating, trying to hold them upright (A) can cause injury to both the patient and the caregiver. Stepping away (B) is neglectful. The correct actions are to ease the patient to the floor (protecting the head) and call for help. So E (Both C and D) is correct.
• Question 5: The Swivel Technique is used to help a patient out of bed. The Log Roll Technique is for turning a patient, especially those with spinal injuries.
• Question 6: Non - skid socks or closed - toe shoes provide better traction and safety. Slippers (2) may not offer enough grip, and “it doesn't matter” (3) is incorrect as proper footwear is crucial for safety during ambulation.

Answer:

1. E. Both C and D
2. 2. Swivel Technique
3. 1. Non - skid socks or closed - toe shoes
