The nursing assistant (NA) observes the situation for safe transfer of the resident from the current bed to the specialty bed. The NA should stop the health care team if there is an observation of something that needs to be corrected. In this scenario the NA should stop the team because the specialty wheels are unlocked-this would be one or more wheels because it could lead to the bed moving during the transfer resulting in the resident falling. Using a transfer board under the resident, having the beds flat and at the same height, and the rails down helps with a safe and efficient transfer.
