Question 4
Wrong Answer The nurse has evaluated a patient for transfer to a chair and recognizes that there are limited mobility, diminished weight bearing capacity, and normal upper-body strength. The nurse’s best next best course of action is to
Your Answer:
Apply a transfer belt around the patient’s waist, and teach the patient the correct position for transfer.
Rationale:
A patient who has diminished weight-bearing capacity is at higher risk for a fall and should be supported more fully through the process than a routine transfer belt can provide. The bariatric lift or other appropriate device gives the most appropriate support for this activity. Additional caregivers may be needed, but the amount and activity are based on the patient need. Allowing the patient to sit on the side of the bed is part of the process, but unless there are unexpected complications, a full transfer is most beneficial.
Question 5
Wrong Answer The nurse is teaching the family to move the patient from bed to a wheelchair at home. The patient has normal weight-bearing capacity and normal upper-body strength. The most appropriate safety advice for the nurse to give the patient is:
Your Answer:
“When moving your mother, stay behind her at all times. You may need to hold her under her arms to ease her into the chair.”
Rationale:
When moving a patient to a chair, it is appropriate to allow the paint to sit on the bedside and equilibrate blood pressure and reduce the risk for dizziness. The nurse should never leave a patient sitting on the side of the bed while obtaining equipment. Patient safety is enhanced with the use of a transfer belt, and the nurse should always position this or her body in front of the patient to utilize good body mechanics during the transfer. The nurse should never assume that he or she can hold the patient and get him or her into position without assistance.
