Role-Play 2: Primary Skill Assessment: Client Lifting

Candidate name:
Assessor name:
Primary Skill: Transferring the Person Using a Mechanical Lift
Place of Assessment:
Date of assessment: 1st 2nd
Time of Assessment: 1st 2nd
Instructions

As you progress through this Primary Skill assessment you will need to read each of the items in the left-hand column to make sure you complete the task correctly. Your assessor will place a C or NYC in the boxes next to each part of the task during the assessment. The assessor will complete the column on the right-hand side listing any procedures/settings considered not being competently adhered to. These steps are critical to the performance of each task

Before you begin you will need to confirm that you understand the following safety alert;

 

Transferring Persons

The person wears non-skid footwear for transfers. Such footwear protects the person from falls. Slipping and sliding are prevented. Remember to securely tie shoelaces. Otherwise, the person can trip and fall. The bed wheels must be locked. And wheelchair and shower chair brakes must be on. Both measures prevent the bed, wheelchair, or shower chair from moving during the transfer. Otherwise, the person can fall. You are also at risk for injury.

 

Mechanical Lifts

Mechanical lifts vary among manufacturers. Also, manufacturers have different models. Knowing how to use one lift does not mean that you know how to use others. Always follow the

manufacturer’s instructions. If you have questions, ask the nurse. If you have not used a certain lift before, ask the nurse to show you how to use it safely. Also, ask the nurse to help you use it the first time and until you are comfortable using it.

 

I can confirm that I understand the above safety alert and will apply it to the best of my abilities:
