Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Romberg test assesses the client's ability to maintain balance while standing still. Option D is the correct set of instructions to complete this test as it instructs the client to stand with their feet together and arms at their sides with their eyes open. This position is then repeated with the client's eyes closed to further evaluate balance and proprioception. Options A, B, and C do not assess the client's ability to maintain balance while standing still.
