Move and position

One problem which may arise from incorrect lifting techniques is the development of pressure ulcers. Effective moving and handling has a great role to play in the prevention of pressure ulcers and this is why training is so important (Hall, 2001). Inappropriate moving and handling techniques may result in skin damage. Pressure ulcers can be caused by pressure, friction and shear (NICE, 2003). For example, if a patient is dragged rather than lifted when using a slide sheet, this could cause friction and could potentially lead to skin damage. Consequently this could result in the Patient having to stay in hospital longer which could impact on a Patients psychological state.

6.2 To understand individuals needs and preference and to meet them, to move the individual safely and correctly, to involve individual in the process, to minimise injury to individual, myself or others and ensuring that move is comfortable for the individual.

features of the musculoskeletal system that moves the body and its importance in relation to correctly moving and

1:1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals.

I was assisting Mrs x who was not too well but Mrs x was fully mobile and only required assistance of one staff while walking Mrs x to the lavatory she felt dizzy and was about to fall I grabbed hold of her at once I shouted for more help.

1.2. Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual

A second type of legislation within health and social care is “Manual handling operations Regs 1992.” This act states that employers all must plan ahead and avoid task that carry risks. They must also take steps to reduce the risks of injury during tasks that cannot be avoided for example, within River glade using a hoist alone the staff must assess the risk of this job and potentially ask for help if they cannot do it alone. In order to reduce the risk of injury from manual handling the staff can plan every lift to be as safe as possible by bending their knees while lifting the can also, encourage people to move independently when possible. Lastly, they can avoid repetitive lifts. (Aldworth C., 2010)

When patients are lifted, moved, or repositioned, health care workers can be subject to serious injury if not practiced with proper mechanics.

The human body is often perceived as being a complicated mechanism. Having many different parts that perform specific functions, in order to understand how the body works, it helps to understand how the body is organized. Chapter 2 introduces us to the study of Anatomy. According to Medical News Today, anatomy is the identification and description of the structures of living things.
