The video tutorial explains techniques for assisting patients, particularly those who have had a stroke, in moving from a chair to a bed. It discusses the use of barriers to prevent falls and introduces the one-way glide technique to facilitate patient movement in one direction, ensuring safety and ease of transfer.

What is a key consideration when transferring a patient from a chair to a bed?

• Ensuring the room is well-lit

• Checking the patient's temperature

• Using a wedge to assist the transfer

• Ensuring the patient is fully awake

Why is a wedge used on the side of the bed?

• To prevent the patient from falling off

• To keep the bed sheets in place

• To make the bed more comfortable

What is a potential risk when moving a patient over speed bumps?

• The patient might wake up

• The patient could fall off the bed

• The patient could become dizzy

• The patient might get cold

What is the primary function of a one-way glide?

• To guide the patient in one direction only
