Mobility and transfersQuestion 568 of 1700
After the nurse assesses a resident who fell and meets the immediate needs, how is the resident moved back to the bed or chair?
- With two aides lifting by the arms
- With the resident standing up alone
- With a gait belt only
- With a mechanical lift
Show answer
Correct answer: With a mechanical lift
After the nurse has checked the resident, a mechanical lift moves the resident safely. Lifting by hand or standing alone risks more injury.
