A nurse is preparing to move a client who is only partially able to assist up in bed. Which of the following methods should the nurse plan to use?

A. Two nurses lifting the client under the shoulders: Lifting under the shoulders increases the risk of musculoskeletal injury for the nurses and can cause discomfort or harm to the client’s shoulders. B. Two nurses using a friction-reducing device: This is the safest and most effective method for a client who can only partially assist. A slide sheet or similar device reduces shear and friction, protecting the client’s skin while decreasing strain on the nurses. C. One nurse lifting the client’s legs as the client uses a trapeze bar: This method is suitable only if the client has full upper body strength to pull with the trapeze bar. Since the client is only partially able to assist, relying solely on this strategy would not provide adequate support. D. One nurse lifting as the client pushes with his feet: This method puts excess physical strain on a single nurse and is not appropriate for a client who requires partial assistance. It also increases the risk of back injury for the nurse.
