Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The negligent act was likely caused by the wheelchair being unlocked, which caused it to move while the nursing assistant was trying to move the resident, resulting in the fall. The nursing assistant should always make sure the resident has nonslip shoes in place, lock the wheelchair, remove the footrests, and unfasten the seat belt before moving the resident from the wheelchair to the toilet.
