⟩ Tell me what all things CNA needs to take care while transferring a patient from bed?
While transferring patient from bed, CNA must crosscheck following things,
☛ Can patient bear his weight? fully or partially
☛ If patient is cooperative use stand and pivot technique using a gait/transfer belt
(1 caregiver) -or- powered standing assist lift (1 caregiver)
☛ If the patient is not cooperative use full body sling lift and 2 caregivers to transfer patient.
☛ If patient have upper extremity strength then use gait/transfer belt until the patient is proficient in completing transfer independently
