Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The safest and most practical choice for transporting a toddler to radiology would be to use a crib or gurney to ensure the child's safety during the transfer. This will also aid in providing the stability and support needed for any medical equipment that the child may be attached to. Wheelchairs are typically not used for young children who are unable to sit still and are not able to support themselves. Using a stretcher may also increase the risk of injury to the child during the transport. Lastly, carrying a child should only be done if it is an emergency and if it is safe for both the child and the nurse carrying them.
