WEEK 5 MOVING & TRANSFERRING RESIDENTS

 Here's a little humor to start the week!



Now that you've had lots of practice with using good body mechanics as you  lift and turn Ms. Gaga in her bed,  Manuel will continue testing this week.  Continue to review the steps and practice speaking while you position and turn your clients. 

Have you noticed how often your textbook states, "check the care plan"? This week will we see a blank care plan in class, and you will notice there is a lot of information a PCA needs to know about his or her client.

Using the Gait Belt, Wheelchair  (pages 29 - 37)
