Mobility and transfersQuestion 530 of 1700
What should you use to move a resident up in bed so friction and shear are prevented?
- Your hands under the resident's arms
- A pillow under the knees
- The resident's own bed rail only
- A lift sheet
Show answer
Correct answer: A lift sheet
A lift sheet takes the friction so the skin does not rub on the bed sheet.
