When assisting a resident with ambulation using a gait belt, where should the CNA stand?

Question

Accepted Answer

On the resident's weaker side, slightly behind. The CNA should stand on the resident's weaker side, slightly behind, to provide support and be ready to catch them if balance is lost. This position allows for safe assistance and monitoring. Choice A does not allow for proper support of the weaker side. Choice B obstructs movement. Choice D provides assistance to the stronger side, which is unnecessary.
