Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Logrolling is the preferred procedure for re-positioning a person after spinal surgery as it allows for the spine to remain in a neutral position and reduces the risk of further injury or complications. Moving the person in segments or using a trapeze can put undue stress on the spine and is not recommended. Using a mechanical lift may also be an option, but it is not necessary for this particular task and may be more time-consuming than logrolling.
