NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse in a busy hospital unit notices that a colleague frequently transfers heavy patients from bed to wheelchair without using assistive equipment, such as a mechanical lift, despite its availability. What would be the most appropriate initial action to promote staff safety in this situation?

  • Report the situation to the unit manager to initiate disciplinary action against the colleague.

  • Educate the colleague on the risks of patient transfers and proper use of assistive equipment to prevent injuries.

  • Document the incidents and notify the management team about updating ergonomic policies in the unit.

  • Delegate another nurse to assist in moving patients to reduce the risk of injury to the colleague.
