Question

1. for whom would you use the stand and pivot technique to transfer from a wheelchair or dialysis chair?

a. a patient who is brought into the dialysis clinic on a stretcher
b. a patient who can bear his or her weight once standing
c. a patient who can get out of the dialysis chair without needing any help
d. a patient who says he feels dizzy and nauseated

Explanation:

The stand and pivot transfer technique requires the patient to be able to stand and bear weight temporarily to pivot between chairs. Option A (stretcher patient) cannot stand; Option C (independent patient) does not need the technique; Option D (dizzy/nauseated patient) is unstable for standing. Only Option B describes a patient who can bear weight once standing, making them suitable for this transfer.

Answer:

B. A patient who can bear his or her weight once standing
