Illinois CNA State Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

How should a gait belt be applied?

Directly on the skin

Over clothes with buckle off center

Apply the gait belt over the clothes with the buckle off center because it allows for a more secure fit and better control when helping a patient to stand and walk. Option A and D are not recommended because the contact with bare skin can cause discomfort or irritation for the patient. Option C is also not recommended because it may slip or not provide enough stability. It is important to ensure the gait belt is properly placed to provide the best support and safety for the patient.
