Transfer and Ambulation Skills - DVD

Care providers must often assist persons with impaired mobility to walk, move to wheelchairs, toilets and beds. But to protect yourself and those you are providing care to, the nursing assistant must master the skills needed for transfer and ambulation.

Medcom s Nursing Assistant program on transfer and ambulation has been completely revised and updated, yet continues to provide clear descriptions and demonstrations of common and important transfer techniques.

This program demonstrates the proper techniques for:

• Pivot Transfer from Bed to Wheelchair and back
• Pivot Transfer from Wheelchair to Toilet and back
• Two-person Lift from bed to Wheelchair
• Three-person Lift from Bed to Gurney
• Transfer from Mechanical Lift
• Assisting with Ambulation
• Preventing Injury during a Fall

This program builds skills and confidence by accurately providing a clear picture of how to perform basic skills. It provides standardized training that is concise, simple and documentable. Programs follow the requirements of The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for compliance with OBRA. Programs also follow OSHA standards and CDC Standard precautions guidelines.
