Explanation:

The method to transfer a patient from a bed to a wheelchair described by healthcare specialists consists on the following steps:

First, the transfer must be prepared by informing the patient about the transfer, identify the patient´s dominant side and place the chair on this side, making sure the area is clear and check that the wheels on the bed and chair are locked. Then the patient must be put in a seated position on the bed. To do this, while the patient is lying flat on the bed, the caregiver asks the patient to cross their arms over their chest. Then the caregiver must roll the patient to the side of the wheelchair by putting one arm behind the patients shoulder and the other hand over the patient´s furthest knee, then the patient knees are pulled towards the caregiver while swinging the shoulders until the patient is sitting on the side of the bed. Is important to make sure the patient doesn't feel dizzy, and if he/she does, give them a few moments to recover. Then, is important to make sure their feet are touching the floor, so the bed can be lowered until they are. After that, a gait belt is used if the patient can´t stand on their own. The belt is attached around the patient's waist. Caregiver grasps the belt on both sides and asks patient to place his hands over the caregiver´s shoulders. Then, the caregiver pulls up the patient into a standing position, and then the patient is turned towards the chair and slowly lowered to it. Finally, the patient is aligned correctly on the chair, and the belt is removed.
