Answer Choices:
Call for assistance from the lift team and use a mechanical lift to transfer the client.
➤ The client’s weight (280 lbs) and limited extremity strength due to a recent stroke place him at high risk for injury during manual transfer, both for himself and the nurse.
➤ Using a mechanical lift with trained staff ensures safe patient handling and complies with guidelines to reduce musculoskeletal injuries in healthcare workers.
➤ Although the client is cooperative, his minimal mobility means he cannot assist adequately, making mechanical aid the safest and most appropriate choice.
➤ Facilities often have safe patient handling protocols that mandate the use of mechanical lifts for bariatric or dependent clients to prevent falls, skin tears, and strain injuries.
