Henrietta is unsteady while walking. She has tried using a cane, but it does not give her enough support. She has significant upper-body weakness. What does the physical therapist recommend for Henrietta?

Wheeled walker
Standard walker
Quad cane
Wheelchair

Explanation

Answer: A. The physical therapist recommends a wheeled walker for Henrietta. Since Henrietta can still walk, a wheelchair is not recommended. However, Henrietta’s upper-body weakness makes using a standard walker difficult for her. A wheeled walker allows her to push the walker rather than lift it, making mobility easier.
