Which aid is used when a victim needs assistance with walking?

• A. Walking Assist
• B. Two-person Carry
• C. Clothes Drag
• D. Restraint carry

Answer: (A)

Walking assist is used when the person is conscious and able to bear weight but needs support to walk. It lets you provide just enough stability so they can move toward safety without being fully carried. To do it, stand beside the person on their safer side, place one arm around their back or waist for support, and use your other arm to guide their near arm or shoulder. Keep your own back straight and your knees bent, stay close, and give clear, calm directions as they take small steps. If they start to stumble, be ready to offer more support or switch to a different method if they can’t continue. Two-person carries are for when someone cannot walk at all and needs to be lifted and carried. A clothes drag is used to move a conscious person when you need to move them quickly but without lifting their body completely, or when grabbing clothing is the only option. A restraint carry is used for moving a person who is combative or otherwise unsafe to transport without control.
