Question

1. which choice best represents safe wheelchair operation?

leave the transfer side armrest in place if moving the individual from the chair.
use brake locks when the wheelchair is not in motion.
the individual using a wheelchair should not change seating positions.
the individual should bend forward to place their feet in the footrests.

1. what type of alarm is used to monitor a specific persons mobility range?

wandering - prevention
pressure - sensitivity
motion - detection
physiological status

Explanation:

• Question 4:
• When moving an individual from the chair, the transfer - side armrest should be removed, so the first option is wrong.
• Using brake locks when the wheelchair is not in motion is a safety measure. If the wheelchair is not locked, it can roll, causing falls or other accidents.
• An individual using a wheelchair can change seating positions with proper assistance, so the third option is wrong.
• Bending forward to place feet in footrests without proper support can cause imbalance, so the fourth option is wrong.
• Question 5:
• A wandering - prevention alarm is specifically designed to monitor a person's mobility range. If a person with such an alarm (e.g., in a healthcare or elder - care setting) moves beyond a pre - set range, the alarm is triggered.
• Pressure - sensitivity alarms are more related to pressure on a surface (e.g., in beds to detect if a patient has not moved for a long time to prevent bedsores).
• Motion - detection alarms detect any motion in a general area, not a specific person's mobility range.
• Physiological status alarms are for monitoring things like heart rate, blood pressure, etc., not mobility range.

Answer:

1. Use brake locks when the wheelchair is not in motion.
2. Wandering - prevention.
