Answer 2

In assessing for complications in a client who has been using crutches for two weeks, the finding that is most important is the hand and wrist weakness which is number three because this is the part of the body that exerts the most effort because it supports the crutches in order for the body to move. And if it is weak, it could be a problem to the client using crutches.
