Patient CareCâu 26 / 100
A patient is being transferred from a wheelchair to the exam table. What should the medical assistant do to make the transfer safest?
a.Leave the wheelchair unlocked so it can be moved quickly if needed
b.Lift with the back straight and the knees locked
c.Lock the wheelchair wheels, position it close to the table, and pivot toward the patient's stronger side
d.Have the patient stand and walk unassisted to prove independence
Giải thích
Locking the wheels, minimizing the distance to be covered, and pivoting toward the patient's stronger side reduce the chance of a fall and protect the assistant's back. An unlocked chair can roll away mid-transfer. Lifting with locked knees loads the spine instead of the leg muscles, and forcing an unsteady patient to walk alone invites injury.
