    Avoid slips by:

    • Wiping your shoes off when entering a building

    • Cleaning up spills immediately

    • Wearing shoes with slip-resistant soles

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The suggested answer "All of the above" is correct because it encompasses all the mentioned actions that can help avoid slips. Wiping shoes off when entering a building helps remove any dirt or moisture that may cause slipping. Cleaning up spills immediately prevents anyone from accidentally stepping on them and slipping. Wearing shoes with slip-resistant soles provides better traction and grip, reducing the risk of slipping on slippery surfaces. Therefore, all three actions mentioned in the options contribute to avoiding slips.

    When transferring a patient, move quickly so that the patient is less likely to fall.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Moving quickly while transferring a patient can actually increase the risk of falls. When transferring a patient, it is important to prioritize their safety and take the necessary precautions to prevent accidents. Moving slowly and carefully allows the healthcare provider to maintain control and stability during the transfer, reducing the chances of the patient falling. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Proper lifting technique is only important when transferring patients.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Proper lifting technique is not only important when transferring patients, but also in various other situations such as lifting heavy objects, exercising, or performing manual labor. Using the correct technique helps prevent injuries, strains, and sprains by minimizing stress on the back and other body parts. It is crucial to maintain proper posture, engage the core muscles, and use the legs to lift rather than relying solely on the back. Therefore, the statement that proper lifting technique is only important when transferring patients is false.

    • Gather the right adapted tools for the specific task at hand (ie. step stool)

    Correct Answer
    A. Leave clutter in workspace before performing your lifting task.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Leave clutter in workspace before performing your lifting task." This statement is not true in evaluating a work situation because leaving clutter in the workspace can create hazards and increase the risk of accidents, especially when performing lifting tasks. It is important to ensure a clean and organized workspace to promote safety and prevent injuries.

    Reduce your risk of injury from a trip by:

    • Leaving doors and drawers open in your workspace

    • Turn the lights off in your work area to save electricity

    • Looking where you walk, and walking where you look

    • Hanging electrical cords over furniture to keep them out of the way

    Correct Answer
    A. Looking where you walk, and walking where you look
    Explanation
    Looking where you walk, and walking where you look is the correct answer because it emphasizes the importance of being aware of your surroundings and paying attention to where you are going. By looking where you walk, you can identify potential hazards or obstacles in your path and take necessary precautions to avoid tripping or falling. Similarly, walking where you look ensures that your body is aligned with your line of sight, reducing the risk of missteps or accidents. This practice promotes better balance and coordination, ultimately reducing the risk of injury from a trip.

    • Lock your knees to give more lifting power

    • Keep the center of the object close to your body

    • Count ‘1,2,3,go…’ to perform a lift with a co-worker

    Correct Answer
    A. Lock your knees to give more lifting power
    Explanation
    Locking your knees is not a part of proper general lifting technique. Locking the knees can restrict blood flow and can lead to injury or strain on the muscles and joints. It is important to keep the knees slightly bent while lifting to maintain stability and to distribute the weight properly.
