Where are the single strand points when cuffing?

• A. Backward on the wrist
• B. Forward on the top cuff
• C. Palm side
• D. Behind the hand

Answer: (B)

When cuffing, the single strand points should run forward on the top cuff. This orientation gives you the strongest, most controllable pull as you tighten, keeping the strands out of the way and reducing the chance they snag on the hand, clothing, or the other cuff. With the strands pointing forward, your hand stays in a position that lets you guide the bottom cuff onto the wrist smoothly and secure it quickly. If the strands point in other directions, they can cross, twist, or snag, making control harder and increasing the risk of misplacement or slower application.
