  a. A wide base of support increases stability
  b. A higher center of gravity increases sta-bility
  c. Facing the direction of movement pre-vents abnormal twisting of the spine
  d. Pivoting requires less work than lifting
  e. Manually lift the patient in sections
  f. Dividing balanced activity between arms and the legs

Question 2

  c. Discussion
  d. Role play
  e. Return demonstration

Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, F
Principles of body mechanics include the following: A wide base of support increases stability; a lower center of gravity increases stability; the equilibrium of an object is maintained when the line of gravity passes through its base of support; facing the direction of movement prevents ab-normal twisting of the spine; dividing balanced activity between arms and legs reduces the risk for back injury; and leverage, rolling, turning, or pivoting requires less work than lifting. Manual lifting is the last resort, and it is only used when it does not involve lifting most or all of the pa-tient's weight.

Answer to Question 2

C, D
Teaching methods for affective learning include role-play and discussion. Lecture is effective for cognitive learning. Practice and return demonstration are best for psychomotor learning.
