Elderly care - key points for proper use of wheelchairs:
1. Before using the wheelchair, check whether the performance of the wheelchair is normal.
2. When assisting the elderly in transposition, the elderly shall be guided to work together. Nurses should pay attention to labor-saving operation and self-protection.
3. When pushing the wheelchair, the use of the safety belt must be confirmed. Tell the old man to lean back as far as possible.
When the wheelchair enters and exits the elevator, the nursing personnel shall advance, and the wheelchair and the elderly shall advance. When getting out of the elevator, the medical personnel shall get out first, and the elderly in wheelchairs shall get out later. When going downhill, the wheelchair should be reversed so that the nursing staff and the elderly can face the slope slowly.
4. When moving from sitting position to standing position, remember not to change too quickly, so as to prevent the elderly from fainting due to postural hypotension.
