How should you place the call light for a quadriplegic patient?

  1. If not able to reach, place it on the nearest table

  2. If not able to reach, place it within eyesight

  3. If not able to reach, check on the person often

  4. If not able to reach, call for help

The correct answer is: If not able to reach, place it on the nearest table

The correct placement of the call light for a quadriplegic patient is on the nearest table because they would not be able to reach it from their bed. Placing it within eyesight or checking on the person often do not directly address the issue of being able to reach the call light for assistance. Calling for help does not solve the problem of a patient needing immediate assistance without having to rely on someone else. It is important to consider the accessibility and independence of the patient when determining the placement of the call light.
