Which element of transfer documentation records the tools used during the transfer?

• A. Type of transfer
• B. Surfaces transferred to and from
• C. Equipment or devices used
• D. Level of safety demonstrated

Answer: (C)

The main idea is documenting the equipment or devices used during a transfer. This matters because the specific tools chosen affect the mechanics of the move, safety risks, and the exact setup required for future transfers. For instance, using a transfer board versus a sliding sheet entails different body positions, handles, and precautions. Recording the equipment ensures others know what was used, supports safe reproduction of the transfer, and helps with equipment maintenance and availability. Other elements describe how the transfer was performed, where it occurred, or the safety observed, but they don’t specify the tools involved.
