Question

A client can be: A: Helped to move up the bed by two care workers holding each other’s wrists and lifting the client under the back and thighs B: Turned in bed by one care worker placing their arms under the client and pulling them towards the care worker to achieve a ‘flip turn’ C: Moved across the bed using a bridging technique D: Moved up the bed by means of the care worker putting their arms under the client's axillae

Answer 1

A patient can be handled and moved across the bed by bridging technique whereas the patient is lying on their back (supine position) and their hands and feet are pushes towards each other to raise their hips, making it look like a bridge thus calling it "bridging technique". In this position, the patient can be rolled over to be moved.
