Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The transfer board or other lateral-assist device reduces friction, easing work load to move the client. It is positioned partially under the client, across the space between the bed and stretcher.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Once the client is standing, the nurse would assess the patient's balance and leg strength. If the client is weak or unsteady, the nurse would return the client to the bed.
