That can sit up by themselves
- B.
With no upper body strength
- C.
That cannot sit up by themselves
- D.
That need to transfer from a bed to a chair
Correct Answer
A. That can sit up by themselvesExplanation
U-Slings are best for patients who can sit up by themselves because these slings provide support and stability to individuals who have the ability to sit upright without assistance. They are designed to fit around the patient's waist and under their arms, allowing them to maintain an upright position while being lifted or transferred. This type of sling is not suitable for patients who lack upper body strength or cannot sit up by themselves, as they may require different types of slings or additional support for safe and comfortable transfers.Rate this question:

Placing the shortest strap at the back ensures that the sling is properly aligned and provides the necessary support for the patient during lifting or transferring.Rate this question:
