Mobility and transfersQuestion 1400 of 1700

Why is a gait belt not used for a sit-to-stand transfer?

  1. It would make the resident too warm
  2. It would hide the sling loops and make the lift very hard to hook on later
  3. It would stop the lift from rolling
  4. It would require extensive help and could injure the client or staff
Show answer

Correct answer: It would require extensive help and could injure the client or staff

The sit-to-stand lift gives the support instead.
