Mobility and transfersQuestion 1400 of 1700
Why is a gait belt not used for a sit-to-stand transfer?
- It would make the resident too warm
- It would hide the sling loops and make the lift very hard to hook on later
- It would stop the lift from rolling
- 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.
