Moving Patients

Merlin
Today’s lab in Rad Intro / Patient Care was some procedural techniques for moving from a wheelchair to the x-ray table. In this exercise, we were working with students who pretended to be in need of assistance. These simulated patients were not immobile, but just in need of assistance. We practiced the process of assisting them onto the table from a wheelchair, and then back into the wheelchair from the table. In our next lab for this class, we will be working with simulated immobile patients who can not move themselves.
