Answer 8

is a branch of physics that applies the laws of how things move to living creatures

Question 9

base of support

Answer 9

is the foundation on which a body rest

Answer 24

stretcher or gurney

Question 25

2 types of devices for cart transfers

Answer 25

Draw sheet
Low friction device

Question 26

Draw sheet

Answer 26

A moving device or draw sheet should be used

Question 27

low friction device

Answer 27

Second type of moving devices is a low friction plastic sheet that enables health practitioners to slide rather than lift their patients during transfers
