Explanation:

When transferring a patient, a slider board or a friction - reducing sheet is used. The purpose of these tools is to minimize the friction between the patient and the surface (bed or stretcher). Reducing friction makes the transfer process smoother, safer, and less physically demanding for the caregivers. It also reduces the risk of injury to the patient (such as skin abrasions due to excessive rubbing) and the caregivers (from straining muscles while moving a patient against high friction).

Answer:

True
