  1. Ask the resident to lift the hips high off the bed and hold them there
  2. Use the lift sheet to roll the resident toward a raised rail
  3. Pull the resident up to sit on top of the pan
  4. Use a commode instead without telling the nurse
Show answer

Correct answer: Use the lift sheet to roll the resident toward a raised rail

The lift sheet rolls the resident to the side, and the pan is placed behind the buttocks.
