Patient Care第 22 / 100 题
When making an occupied bed, which action best protects the technician's back and the patient's safety?
a.Lower the bed to its lowest position and bend at the waist
b.Keep the far side rail down while turning the patient
c.Work alone regardless of the patient's size
d.Raise the bed to hip height and keep the far side rail up while turning the patient
解析
Raising the bed to hip height lets the technician work without bending the back, using proper body mechanics. Keeping the far side rail up while turning the patient prevents the patient from rolling off the bed. The bed is returned to its lowest position when care is complete.
