Mobilization and Safe Transfer Techniques

Mobilization and Safe Transfer Techniques ( 5 Questions)

Which assessment finding indicates the need for assistive devices during mobilization and transfers? 
 



Correct Answer: C

A history of falls and an unsteady gait indicate an increased risk of falls and the need for assistive devices during mobilization and transfers to ensure safety and prevent injuries.

Incorrect choices: a. Increased muscle strength and coordination may not necessarily require the use of assistive devices during mobilization and transfers. However, individual assessment is still necessary. 

b. Having a normal range of motion in all joints does not directly indicate the need for assistive devices during mobilization and transfers. 

d. Adequate upper body strength may be beneficial for certain transfers, but it does not solely determine the need for assistive devices. The overall safety and stability of the patient are more important considerations.
