Bud is at home recovering from a stroke. He can no longer sit in the bathtub to take a bath. Bud uses a wheelchair to get around his house most of the time. What adaptation do you recommend to Bud for bathing?
  1. Bath bench with back rest that extends over edge of tub
  2. Bath bench with no back rest; sits inside bathtub
  3. Roll in shower stall
  4. Long-handled scrub brush
Explanation
Answer: A. You would recommend a bath bench that extends over the edge of the tub. Bud uses a wheelchair to get around his home, and his ability to lift his legs into the tub is limited. A bath bench with a back rest that extends over the edge of the tub would allow Bud to sit on the edge of the bench, grab the back rest to scoot himself back, and provide him back support as he lifts his legs into the tub.
