Study Notes
Moving Persons in Bed
- Draw sheets and slide sheets primarily serve to reduce friction when repositioning patients.
- To protect skin integrity during bed movements, rolling the person is the recommended technique.
Patient Dependence Levels
- Total dependence indicates a person cannot turn or reposition without assistance, signifying a need for complete support.
Role of Healthcare Workers
- Nurses provide specific guidance on how to position patients while moving them in bed.
- For older patients, it's essential to ask for assistance when raising their head and shoulders to prevent injury.
Use of Assistive Devices
- Draw sheets should be placed under the head to just above the knees to function effectively as assistive devices.
Patient Movements and Safety
- If a patient needs to be moved up in bed and can partially assist, it's crucial to ask for help and utilize friction-reducing devices for safety.
- Before turning a patient, they should be moved to the side of the bed for optimal positioning.
Specific Techniques
- Patients with spinal cord injuries must be turned using the logrolling procedure to maintain spinal alignment.
- Knowing which side is stronger is essential for effective assistance with dangling patients.
Protecting Patient Rights and Comfort
- During dangling procedures, it’s important to close privacy curtains to protect the patient's rights and maintain dignity when performing assistance tasks.
Wheelchair Positioning
- When repositioning a person in a wheelchair, always ensure their feet are flat on the floor to promote stability and readiness for movement.
