b.Directly on bare skin around the chest
c.Around the patient's hips below the buttocks

Giải thích
A gait belt is applied around the waist over clothing and tightened so the assistant can slip a flat hand or a few fingers underneath, protecting the skin while giving a secure grip. Placing it on bare skin causes friction injuries and pinching. A chest or neck placement can restrict breathing or cause serious injury, and a belt below the buttocks provides no control of the trunk.
