A resident uses a walker and needs assistance transferring from bed to chair. In what order should the CNA perform these steps?

Question

Accepted Answer

Have resident sit on edge of bed, position walker, assist to standing, pivot, and sit. The correct sequence is: help resident sit at edge of bed first (reduces dizziness), position the walker within reach, assist to standing with proper body mechanics, pivot toward the chair, and sit down. This order ensures stability and safety. Option A skips the edge-of-bed step. Option C removes the walker prematurely, creating a fall risk. Option D positions the walker after standing, which is inefficient and unsafe.
