The correct answer is: Method for moving a person onto their side

A lift/draw sheet is a specialized piece of equipment used in healthcare settings to assist in moving or repositioning patients safely and comfortably. It is typically a flat sheet made of durable material that is placed under a patient, allowing caregivers to draw the patient up in bed or move them laterally. This tool is particularly useful for transferring patients who may have limited mobility or need additional support, as it helps to prevent injury to both the patient and the caregiver. Using a lift/draw sheet is crucial in maintaining proper body mechanics and reducing the risk of strain injuries among staff when lifting or repositioning patients. The ability to move a person onto their side is a common application of a lift/draw sheet, enhancing patient comfort and ensuring they remain in a safe position.
