A resident with limited mobility needs assistance getting dressed. Which action demonstrates the most efficient technique?

Question

Accepted Answer

Dress the affected (weaker) side first, then the unaffected side. When dressing a resident with limited mobility, dressing the affected (weaker) side first prevents strain on the stronger side and reduces risk of injury. Starting with the unaffected side first (B) is incorrect and less efficient. While sitting is good for safety, the order of dressing sides matters more (C is too vague). Removing all clothing at once (D) increases exposure and discomfort.
