The health care team member and an orientee are sitting a patient up. Which action by the orientee indicates the need for further education? A. The orientee uses the arms to lift the patient. B. The orientee places the patient in the supine position.


The action that indicates the need for further education is: **A. The orientee uses the arms to lift the patient.** Lifting a patient using just the arms is not a proper technique and can lead to injury for both the patient and the orientee. Proper body mechanics should be taught, which include using a person's legs and maintaining a stable stance, while minimizing the physical strength exerted by arms alone. The other options—using bed controls, placing the patient in a supine position, and remaining in front of the patient—are appropriate actions when sitting a patient up.
