The charge nurse on the night shift of a skilled nursing facility is orienting a new aide to the unit. The LPN's most accurate information relative to moving patients is:
A) "Most of your assigned patients are able to move about a little. Don't wake them to change their positions in bed if they are sleeping."
B) "When you get Mrs. S up to the toilet, be sure to keep your feet together and your knees locked, or she will pull you over."
C) "Get one other aide to help and use the mechanical lift when you get Mr. A. out of bed in the morning. He is heavy and doesn't assist at all."
D) "Use your back muscles to lift-that will strengthen them and make it easier for you to lift or move heavy patients."
