A nurse is assisting a client who has generalized weakness out of bed to a wheelchair. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Elevating the bed to a comfortable height for the nurse is helpful, but safety measures take priority. B. Locking the wheels of both the bed and wheelchair ensures stability during the transfer and prevents accidents, making this the correct action. C. Using several staff members to lift the client is unsafe; mechanical lifts or proper transfer techniques should be used instead of manual lifting to prevent injury. D. Positioning the wheelchair at a 90° angle is less stable; it should be placed at a slight angle (30–45°) or parallel to the bed to facilitate a safe transfer.
