Title: Discussion 3 - Transfer and transfer techniques
Course: PHT 1200C Basic Patient Care > Section: Module 3

Based on your observations, either during the time you spent doing observation before entering the program or during your clinical time, describe the types of transfers and transfer techniques you have seen used in patient care. In your discussion include a review of the appropriateness of the technique used, the safety awareness demonstrated by the practitioner performing the transfer, and the patient’s participation in the transfer. Are the techniques consistent with what you are learning in this class? Why or why not? What recommendations would you suggest in an attempt to make the transfer more effective, safe, or functional for patient?
