Answer 1

When assisting a resident with using a walker, it is important to prioritize their safety and provide support and stability. Padding around the top of the walker can prevent injuries, and using a gait belt while standing behind the resident ensures their added safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

While assisting a resident who is learning to use a walker, it is important to prioritize their safety.

One action you can take is to stand slightly behind them, using a gait belt. This allows you to provide support and stability in case they lose balance or need assistance.

You can also place padding around the top of the walker to prevent any injuries in case the resident accidentally bumps into something.
