The nurse knows that which of the following is a good form of exercise that this client can still perform while immobilized?
1. Isotonic exercise
2. Isometric contraction

The first rule of safety when managing client transfers is:
1. Flex your knees and plant your feet far apart
2. Keep your back aligned with your neck, pelvis, and feet
3. Use lift teams or mechanical lifts when the transfer requires it
4. Always use the large muscles of the arms and legs, not the small muscles of the back
