Question

What level of assistance would a client with (Fair +) Sitting B?

Option 1: Independent - No assistance needed.
Option 2: Moderate assistance - Gait belt.
Option 3: Total assistance - Hoyer lift.
Option 4: Minimal assistance - Slide board.

Answer 1

A client with (Fair +) sitting balance would typically require moderate assistance - a gait belt.

Step-by-step explanation:

A client with (Fair +) sitting balance would typically require moderate assistance - a gait belt.

A gait belt is a device that is used to provide support and stability while assisting a client with walking or standing. It is worn around the client's waist and allows the caregiver to hold onto it to help the client maintain balance.

Other options mentioned, such as the Hoyer lift and slide board, are typically used for clients who require total assistance or minimal assistance respectively, and do not apply to a client with fair sitting balance.
