Doris
Doris needs full assistance for care and transfers
Assistance would, if provided without special precautions, lead to the risk of physically overloading the caregiver. Equipment should be used to reduce this risk. This patient is unable to substantially contribute to the movement. However, wherever and whenever possible, it is important to activate these patients. The assistance provided for Doris might include transfers with a sling lift.
