1. true or false? its safe to transfer a patient alone if the patient is alert and cooperative.

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

• For question 4: A draw sheet or slide board reduces friction during transfer, aiding in a safe bed - to - gurney transfer. A gait belt is for walking assistance, a pillow and blanket are for comfort, and "standing" is not equipment.
• For question 6: Typically, 2 - 3 people are needed for a bed - to - gurney transfer to ensure patient safety and proper handling. One person may not be enough for support, 4 - 5 is usually excessive for a standard transfer, and only the nurse (assuming one nurse) is insufficient.
• For question 7: Even if a patient is alert and cooperative, transferring alone is unsafe as there is a risk of falls or other mishaps. Multiple people are needed for proper support and balance.

Answer:

1. B. Draw sheet or slide board
2. B. 2 - 3 people
3. B. False
