2. The nurse uses proper body mechanics to move a client up in bed. What action by the nurse will increase their risk of a workplace injury?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Placing the bed in the lowest possible position increases the risk of injury because it does not support proper body mechanics.

Keeping feet apart to provide a wide base of support (choice C) helps with stability and balance. Facing the direction of the movement (choice D) is essential for maintaining proper alignment and reducing the risk of injury.
