Nursing Essential Concepts
The nurse is observing two UAPs log roll a client who had a laminectomy yesterday. Which observation indicates that the procedure is being incorrectly performed?
Explanation
ExplanationLog rolling is used when the spine must be kept straight. The head and shoulders and hips and legs should be moved as a unit at the same time. Log rolling can be correctly performed by using a turning sheet. The bed should be placed in the highest position before turning the client to protect the backs of the personnel.
