FOUR BASIC LIFT PATIENT
Before lifting an object, the nurse must decide that the object can be lifted by one person safely, if the nurse feels that the object is too heavy or too large, need to ask for help from others. In addition, nurses should assess clients’ motivation and ability in helping to transfer or change positions.
1. Position weight: weight to be lifted should be as close as possible to the lifter. This position will place the object which raised the same level with the lifting.
2. object: the object of the most high to be appointed by the vertical height is 15-20 cm below the waist size up objects.
3. The position of the body: the lifter must plays his ass straight, multiple muscle groups working together
4. Maximum weight: object is too heavy if large more than 25-30% of the lifting body.
STEP:
1. Standing near the object to be moved so that the center of gravity lift closer to the object.
2. larger base supporters by placing the legs separately. This way the body to maintain balance better and reduce the risk of falling.
3. lower your center of gravity of the object to be lifted. This way the body and improve balance muscles to work together in sync.
4. maintain good alignment of the head and neck with your spine, keep the bottom straight, to reduce the risk of lumbar vertebrae injury and muscle groups (Owens, Welden, and Kane, 1999 in Perry Potter)
