Question

TRANSFERS BED/WHEELCHAIR: If someone requires assistance for 25-49% of the transfer, with the helper performing most of the effort, it is considered:

a) Independent transfer with significant assistance
b) Device-assisted transfer with minimal effort
c) 50-74% assistance with effort from the helper
d) Minimal assistance with helper's effort

Answer 1

The correct answer is d) Minimal assistance with helper's effort.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is d) Minimal assistance with helper's effort.

According to the given options, if someone requires assistance for 25-49% of the transfer, with the helper performing most of the effort, it is considered minimal assistance with the helper's effort. This means that the person needing assistance is able to participate to some extent but relies on the helper for the majority of the effort.

For example, if a person is able to hold on to a bed rail during a transfer but needs the helper to guide their movement and provide support, it would fall under minimal assistance with the helper's effort.
