A resident should place a cane about __________ inches in front of his stronger leg.

10 inches
12 inches
15 inches
20 inches

The correct answer is: 10 inches

The resident should place the cane about 10 inches in front of his stronger leg because this provides the most support and stability while walking. Option B (12 inches) and C (15 inches) are incorrect because the cane should not be placed too far in front of the body as it could cause the resident to overreach and lose balance. Option D (20 inches) is incorrect because placing the cane too far in front could also cause the resident to lean forward too much, throwing off their balance.
