Following the nurse's directions and the care plan ensures that the repositioning is done safely and effectively. It also shows respect for the person's rights and dignity by following the prescribed care plan. Depending on the situation, using a transfer belt may also be necessary, but following the care plan and nurse's directions should always be the first step. Pulling the person up from behind or asking the person what to do without proper training and guidance from healthcare professionals can put both the person and the caregiver at risk of injury.
