Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Powered stand-assist devices can be used with clients with weight-bearing ability on at least one leg, who can follow directions, and who are cooperative. Clients who are unable to bear partial weight, full weight or who are uncooperative should be transferred using a full body sling lift.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
When using body mechanics, the nurse should face the direction of movement and avoid twisting the body. Maintaining balance involves keeping the spine in vertical alignment, body weight close to the center of gravity, and feet spread for a broad base of support.
