    Question: 1 of 43ATI LPN FUNDAMENTALS III proctored exam
    A nurse is preparing to transfer a client who has left-sided weakness from a sitting position in bed to a chair. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
    Explanation
    A. Raise the height of the client's bed: Raising the bed too high can increase the risk of falls. The bed should be at a safe working height for the nurse and low enough for the client to place their feet on the floor. B. Place the chair at a 90° angle to the bed: The chair should be placed at a 45° angle to the bed on the client's strong side (right side in this case) to make the transfer easier. C. Lock the wheels on the client's bed: This ensures stability during the transfer and prevents the bed from moving, reducing the risk of falls or injury. D. Place the chair on the client's left side: Since the client has left-sided weakness, the chair should be placed on the right (strong) side to facilitate a safer and easier transfer.
