When pulling a patient, you should extend your arms no more than ________ in front of your torso.

10″ to 15″
15″ to 20″
20″ to 30″
5″ to 10″

The correct answer is: 10″ to 15″

Extending your arms too far in front of your torso while pulling a patient could put unnecessary strain on your back muscles and increase the risk of injury. Of the given options, A is the only one that falls within a safe range, with the arms extending no more than 15 inches in front of the torso. Options B and C may be too far, while option D would be too short for proper leverage and could also increase the risk of injury. Thus, option A is the best answer for safe and effective patient pulling.
