Which option is a bed mobility transfer technique?

• A. Draw Sheet (One-Person, Two-Person)
• B. Wheelchair transfer
• C. Stair-climbing transfer
• D. Pivot transfer

Answer: (A)

Bed mobility transfers involve moving a patient within bed or between bed and nearby surfaces using techniques that protect the patient and caregiver. The draw sheet technique places a sheet under the patient and uses sliding or lifting motions to reposition them or transfer to a chair, stretcher, or other surface with less friction and strain. It is commonly performed by one or two caregivers depending on the patient’s size and abilities, making it the standard bed mobility method. Other transfers described—moving to a wheelchair, climbing stairs, or pivoting between surfaces—are oriented toward different settings or heights and are not specifically bed-centered techniques.
