A resident requires assistance with dressing. Which approach demonstrates the best technique?

Question

Accepted Answer

Dress the weaker side first, then the stronger side. When assisting with dressing, the affected or weaker side should be dressed first to reduce strain and prevent injury. This is the correct procedure for safe dressing assistance. Choice B would make it harder to guide the weaker limb through clothing. Choice C does not account for which side is weaker. Choice D is inefficient and may compromise dignity.
