Where does the nursing assistant stand when transferring a patient to a wheelchair?
When transferring a patient to a wheelchair, the nursing assistant should stand beside the patient, typically on the patient's stronger side, to provide support and ensure safety. They should position the wheelchair at a 45-degree angle to the bed or surface from which the patient is being transferred. This allows for a smoother transition and helps the patient to pivot into the wheelchair comfortably. The assistant should also ensure the wheelchair is locked and stable before proceeding with the transfer.
What do you call a bed from the hospital?
A bed from the hospital is typically called a "hospital bed." These beds are designed for patient care and can be adjusted for height and position to enhance comfort and accessibility for both patients and medical staff. They often come with features like side rails and wheels for mobility.
What should you do if you're responsible for transporting a hospital patient to therapy after knee surgery and she refuses to get in the wheelchair?
If a patient refuses to get in the wheelchair after knee surgery, first, calmly assess her reasons for the refusal and address any concerns she may have. Offer reassurance about the importance of therapy for her recovery and explain the benefits of using the wheelchair for her safety and comfort. If she still refuses, consult with a nurse or physician for further guidance and to explore alternative options for transport that may be more acceptable to her. Always prioritize the patient's dignity and emotional well-being in such situations.

Can a dentist refuse to treat you?
If the dentist can demonstrate that he/she is not qualified to provide the proper service needed by someone with a particular disability, it is legal. For example, if a person required sedation, and the dentist was not trained in sedation, he could refer the patient to someone that was qualified. If the patient required care be provided in a hospital setting, and the dentist did not have hospital privileges, he could refuse. On the other hand, if the patient simply arrives in a wheelchair, the dentist cannot refuse to treat on that basis alone. All dental offices are required by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) to be wheelchair accessible.
Can a hospital have a patient sign a paper to go to hospice even if the patient does not want the hospice?
