Ergonomics Practice Tests

These scenarios focus on choosing the right technique and device for transfers, repositioning, and mobility—think friction-reducing sheets, mechanical lifts, gait belts, bariatric equipment, and bed height adjustments. You’ll apply spinal precautions for logrolling, set walker heights correctly, coordinate “count of three” team moves, and recognize when the 35‑lb manual lift threshold is exceeded. Tied to Safe and Effective Care Environment → Safety and Infection Control → Ergonomics, the items emphasize preventing nurse injury, preserving lines and tubes, and keeping patients steady. Expect SATA on risk factors and prioritization calls that balance independence with safety at the bedside.
