Which of the following nursing interventions is likely to have the most impact on reducing fric-tion when positioning an immobile client?
 
  1. Involving at least two personnel in the actual transfer
  2. Lubricating all body parts that are in contact with the bed
  3. Dressing the bed with a lift sheet to be use during the transfer
  4. Thoroughly explaining the process to the client before the move

Question 2

The primary purpose for placing an immobile client's arms across his or her chest when preparing to transfer the client up in the bed is to:
 
  1. Increase the stability of the client's body
  2. Protect the client's arms from being hurt during the transfer
  3. Produce a more compact form that facilitates the transfer
  4. Reduce the amount of body surface area that is in contact with the bed.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The use of the more common lift sheet reduces friction because the client is more easily moved along the bed's surface. Lubricating the body will not reduce friction if the body is improperly handled. The remaining options are not incorrect but do not have an impact on the risk of friction damage to the client as does using the lift sheet.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The greater the surface area of the object you are moving, the greater the friction. For example, when a client is unable to assist in moving up in bed, place the client's arms across the chest. This decreases surface area and reduces friction.
