Answer to Question 1

shear
Shear damage is caused when pressure holds one layer of skill in place while the deeper layer is forced downward as may happen when turning or moving in bed. This force causes reduced blood flow to the tissues.

Answer to Question 2

A
Physical stress can be decreased significantly by the use of a slide board or a friction-reducing board positioned under a drawsheet beneath the patient. In addition, the patient is more comfortable using this method. The three-person lift for horizontal transfer from bed to stretcher is no longer recommended and, in fact, is discouraged. Lower the head of the bed as much as the patient can tolerate. This maintains alignment of the spinal column. Cross the patient's arms on the chest to prevent injury to the arms during transfer.
