Bob: Ms slessor was admitted to H Wing from a nursing Home this morning. She’s an obese lady who needs quite a bit of assistance to mobilize. She uses a wheelchair as she is very unsteady on her feet. she needs the assistance of two nurses and the hoist for all moving and handling. We used a handling sling to get her up to a standing position from the wheelchair. We also used the handling sling to get her to sit over the edge of the bed. Use a slide sheet to turn her or move her in bed as she is quite heavy. she needs the toilet or for a shower. You’ll need the patslide to transfer her to a trolley when she goes for an X-ray this afternoon.
