Certified Nursing Assistant Exam Prep

Answer: C - Rina should secure the client’s safety belts after transferring her to the stretcher. During the transfer of the client after surger, the nurse aide should avoid exposure of the client because of the risk for potential heat loss. Hurried movements and rapid changes in position should be avoided because these predispose the client to hypotension. At the time of the transfer from the surgery table to the stretcher, the client is still affected by the anesthesia; therefore, the client should not move herself. Safety belts can prevent the client from falling off the stretcher.
