Which most accurately describes how each patient is being assisted?

Shirley is using a walker, Ken is using a typical cane, Mindy is using a quad cane, and Grace is not using a device.

Answer 1

The answer is B.
Shirley is not using a device, Ken is using a typical cane, Mindy is using a quad cane, and Grace is using a walker.

Explanation: Shirley has no disabilities, allowing a quick recovery. Ken is using a typical cane which means he doesn’t need as much support as Mindy does with her quad cane. And finally, Grace must be using the walker for her to be ambulatory as a walker provides a great deal of support.
