What are the steps for performing a stand-pivot transfer?
A stand-pivot transfer begins by placing the chair on the person's strong side, locking the wheels, and lowering the bed so the feet can rest flat. With a transfer belt applied, the person leans forward and pushes off the mattress on the count of three while the nursing assistant blocks the weaker leg and pulls the person to a standing position. The person is then pivoted so the legs touch the chair and he or she can grasp the far arm before being seated.
Describe the step-by-step procedure for moving a person up in bed with two nursing assistants, including the positioning and the count.
Two nursing assistants stand on opposite sides of the bed with the head of the bed as flat as possible. Each places one arm under the person's shoulders and one under the thighs, and they grasp each other's forearms beneath the person. The person grasps a trapeze and flexes both knees. On the count of '1, 2, 3,' the move is made on '3,' as the assistants shift their weight from their rear leg to their front leg while the person pushes with the feet and pulls on the trapeze.
