PLEASE HELP QUICK TIMED!
Theresa is a nursing assistant who is helping to transport Gerald, who is bedridden due to a back strain. She is taking him to the CAT scan lab located two doors down from his room. She makes sure the stretcher is free from cracks and breaks, gets a couple people to help move Gerald, and successfully moves him to the stretcher. Theresa covers him completely with blankets to keep him warm. She cannot access the straps but isn’t worried since she isn’t going too far. She also does not prop Gerald’s head with a pillow because he says he is comfortable. As she is getting ready to move him, Gerald’s mother asks if she can come with him. Theresa asks if she would like to push him down the hall, and his mother accepts.
Which best describes the errors Theresa committed?
A. Gerald should have been transported in a wheelchair, and only the health care providers should move Gerald.
B. Gerald’s mother should not be allowed to go with them, and Theresa should not cover the patient with blankets.
C. Theresa should have propped Gerald’s head up, and Gerald should have been transported in a wheelchair.
D.Theresa should have strapped Gerald onto the stretcher, and only the health care providers should move Gerald.
