Question 1 of 5
A safety measure to implement when transferring a client with hemiparesis from a bed to a wheelchair is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When transferring a client with hemiparesis from a bed to a wheelchair, it is crucial to ensure their safety. The correct safety measure involves moving the wheelchair close to the client's bed and having the client stand and pivot on his unaffected extremity to the wheelchair. This method provides support with the unaffected limb, reducing the risk of falls and promoting a safer transfer.
Choice A is incorrect because walking the client is unsafe and not recommended.
Choice C is incorrect as pivoting the client on his affected extremity can lead to injury or falls due to weakness or lack of control.
Choice D is incorrect as it puts the client at risk by requiring them to push their body, which may not be feasible or safe for someone with hemiparesis.
