A 90-year-old patient is working with physical therapy following a recent fall with a traumatic hip fracture. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery and is currently weight-bearing as tolerated and working on functional transfers. To date, the patient has always transferred to the stronger side. Which of the following statements would be correct if the patient requested to start transferring into their weaker or affected side?

A. It would not prove beneficial, and all transfers should be done to the strong side
B. There is a greater risk of damage to the surgical site if transfers are done toward the affected side
C. It will increase proprioception and kinesthesia and would benefit the weaker side
D. It will make the stronger side work harder and is therefore a good strengthening activity
