5. What device would be best to use for a client who is immobile?

A. Standing assist device
B. A mechanical lift
C. Transfer board
D. Gait belt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A mechanical lift is the most suitable device for a client who is immobile as it provides safe and efficient assistance in moving the individual. A standing assist device is used for support during standing activities, not for transferring an immobile client. A transfer board is helpful for assisting a client in sliding from one surface to another but may not be the best option for someone who is completely immobile. A gait belt is used for providing support and stability during walking or transferring, which may not be effective for a client who is immobile and requires more comprehensive assistance.
