Where should the signaling device be placed for a client who is paralyzed on the left side?

Placing the signaling device on the client's right hand is the most appropriate choice for a client who is paralyzed on the left side because it ensures accessibility. The right hand, being the functional side for this client, allows for easier reach and manipulation of the signaling device, enabling effective communication when assistance is needed.

Accessibility is crucial for ensuring that clients can signal for help without excessive difficulty. The left hand, being impaired, cannot effectively use the signaling device, and placing it in the lap might not guarantee easy access, especially if the client has mobility challenges. Similarly, a nearby table could require the client to undertake additional effort to signal for help, which might lead to delays in receiving assistance. Thus, positioning the signaling device on the right hand maximizes the client's ability to call for help swiftly and efficiently.
