7. Which of the following best describes how the patient in a sling should appear before she is moved? (A) High and rigid (B) Centered and level (C) Low and compact (D) Rocking and high

The correct answer is (C) Low and compact.<br /><br />Before moving a patient in a sling, it is important to ensure that the patient is positioned in a low and compact manner. This helps to maintain the patient's stability and prevent any potential injuries during the transfer. The patient should be kept as close to the ground as possible, with their body in a compact and controlled position. This positioning minimizes the risk of sudden movements or falls during the transfer process.
