Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inability to bear weight on the lower extremities will challenge the client to maintain an upright, seated position as they will not be able to use their legs to adjust their balance. The presence of lines, inability to attend to directions, and impulsivity may all impact the client's ability to maintain balance, but they don't directly challenge it in the same way as the inability to bear weight on the lower extremities.
