  2. The stretchers height should be adjust so that it is lower than the level of the bed

Explanation
Answer: B - All of the choices above apply to the draw sheet method of moving patients except that the height of the stretcher should be level with the height of the bed, rather than below the height of the bed. This will reduce the chances of the patient being jarred or injured as they move from the bed to the stretcher.
