Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to transfer a client who weighs 136 kg (300 lb) from a bed to a stretcher with the aid of an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Use an air-assisted transfer device to move the client. This is the safest option when transferring a client who weighs 136 kg (300 lb) as it reduces the risk of injury to both the client and the healthcare providers. Air-assisted transfer devices help in minimizing physical strain and provide a smooth transfer experience.
Moving on to why the other choices are incorrect:
A: Moving the client using a slider board may not provide enough support for a client of this weight, increasing the risk of injury.
C: Raising the bed to 5 cm above the level of the stretcher may not be sufficient to ensure a safe and smooth transfer for a client of this weight.
D: Positioning the head of the bed at 25° prior to the transfer does not directly address the safety concerns associated with transferring a client of this weight.
In summary, using an air-assisted transfer device is the most appropriate and safest option in this scenario.
