Question 1

What does it mean to keep the work 'close to the body' during patient care tasks?

Answer: Keeping objects or patients as close to your center of gravity as possible reduces strain on the back and muscles during lifting or moving.

Question 2

Which part of the body should a CNA use as the primary source of power when lifting a patient?

Answer: The legs (large muscle groups of the thighs and buttocks) should power the lift, not the back muscles.

Question 3

What should a CNA do FIRST before attempting to move a patient up in bed?

Answer: Raise the bed to a comfortable working height (usually waist level) to prevent the CNA from bending or stooping.

Question 4

What is the correct base of support position when a CNA is preparing to lift or move a patient?

Answer: Feet should be shoulder-width apart to create a wide, stable base of support and reduce the risk of back injury.

Question 5

Why should a CNA avoid twisting the spine when moving a patient?

Answer: Twisting the spine while bearing weight significantly increases the risk of back injury and muscle strain.
