The nurse places her thumb on the muscle inset in the antecubital space and taps the thumb briskly with the reflex hammer. -the nurse loosely suspends the clients arm in an open hand while tapping the back of the clients elbow elicits the triceps reflex, so it is incorrect. the nurse instructs the client to dangle her legs as the nurse strikes the area below the patella with the blunt side of the reflex hammer elicits the patella reflex, making it incorrect.the nurse instructs the client to place her arms loosely at her side as the nurse strikes the muscle insert just above the wrist elicits the radial nerve, so it is incorrect.
