Course Overview

Caring for patients in a healthcare environment can require nurses, aides, orderlies and other caregivers to lift as much as four thousand pounds during a typical shift. No wonder they’re twice as likely to suffer musculoskeletal injuries on the job as employees in other industries. But these injuries don’t have to occur.

Topics covered include:

Patient handling and caregiver injuries
Algorithms, patient assessment and body mechanics
Repositioning a patient in bed
Performing patient transfer tasks safely
Mechanical lift devices
and more.
