Safety & Infection Control第 45 / 100 题
Using proper body mechanics, how should a technician lift a heavy object from the floor?
a.Bend at the knees and hips, keep the back straight, and lift with the leg muscles
b.Bend at the waist and lift with the back
c.Keep the legs straight and twist while lifting
d.Hold the object away from the body while lifting
解析
Proper lifting means bending at the knees and hips with a straight back and lifting using the strong leg muscles rather than the back. The object is held close to the body, and the feet are shoulder-width apart for a stable base. Twisting while lifting should be avoided to prevent back injury; turn the whole body instead.
