Mobilization and Safe Transfer Techniques ( 5 Questions)
Which nursing intervention promotes safe transfer techniques for a patient with limited mobility?
Encouraging the patient to perform transfers independently without assistance can increase the risk of falls and injuries.
Using a transfer belt is an effective nursing intervention to promote safe transfer techniques. It provides stability and support to the patient while allowing the caregiver to maintain proper body mechanics and reduce the risk of injury.
While sliding boards may be appropriate for some transfers, they may not be suitable for all patients or situations. The use of sliding boards should be based on the individual's assessment and care plan.
Rapidly lifting the patient is unsafe and can lead to injury for both the patient and the caregiver. Transfers should be performed with controlled movements and without haste.
