ALERT
A patient with hemiplegia may "neglect" one side of the body (inattention to or unawareness of one side of body or environment), which distorts perception of the visual field.
A patient with head trauma or stroke may have perceptual cognitive deficits that create safety risks.
If the patient has difficulty in comprehension, simplify by providing instructions one step at a time and maintain consistency.
Perform hand hygiene before patient contact.
Verify the correct patient using two identifiers.
Assess physiologic capacity to transfer.
Muscle strength (legs and upper arms)
Joint mobility and contracture formation
Paralysis or paresis (spastic or flaccid)
Bone continuity (trauma, amputation)
Assess presence of weakness, dizziness, or postural hypotension.
Assess level of endurance.
Assess level of fatigue during activity.
Assess vital signs.
Assess the patient's proprioceptive function (awareness of posture and changes in equilibrium).
Ability to maintain balance while sitting in bed or on side of bed
Tendency to sway to or position self to one side
Assess the patient's sensory status, including adequacy of central and peripheral vision, adequacy of hearing, and presence of peripheral sensation loss.
Assess the patient's level of comfort.
Pain
Muscle spasm
Assess the patient's cognitive status.
Ability to follow verbal instructions
Short-term memory
Recognition of physical deficits and limitations to movement
Assess the patient's level of motivation such as eagerness versus unwillingness to be mobile.
Assess the patient for specific risks of falling when transferred: neuromuscular deficits, motor weakness, calcium loss from long bones, cognitive and visual dysfunction, and altered balance.
Assess previous mode of transfer (if applicable).
Determine need for special transfer equipment necessary for home setting. Assess home environment for hazards and the family's ability to assist.
Determine the number of people needed to assist with transfer. Do not start procedure until all required caregivers are available.
Perform hand hygiene.
