In order to prevent injury to yourself and others it is important to observe?: Good body mechanics
Refers to the wayin whcih the body moves and maintains balance>: Body mechanics
Four main reasons for using good body mechanics?: Muscles work best when used correctly, correct use of muscle makes lifting, pulling, + pushing easier, Prevents unnecessay fatique/strain, saves energy, Prevents injuries to self/others.
CHAW BAGS= Eight basic rules of body mechanics, C=?: Carry heavy objects close to body, stand close to the object or person being moved.
CHAW BAGS= Eight basic rules of body mechanics, H=?: Hips and knees/bend from them to get closer to an object, + keep your back straight, do not bend at waist.
CHAW BAGS= Eight basic rules of body mechanics, A=?: Avoid twisting your body. Turn with your feet + entire body when you change direction of movement.
CHAW BAGS= Eight basic rules of body mechanics, W=?: Weight of your body/use it to help push or pull an object. Whenever possible, push, slide, or pull rather than lift.
CHAW BAGS= Eight basic rules of body mechanics, B=?: Base of Support stance/feet 8 to 19 inches apart, one foot in front of other/balance weight on BOTH feet, point toes in direction of movement
CHAW BAGS= Eight basic rules of body mechanics, G=?: Get Help/from others or mechanical lifts, w/c, or other devices to help bear the load.
CHAW BAGS= Eight basic rules of body mechanics, S=?: Strongest muscles/let them do the job/shoulders, hips, upper arms, thighs. Back muscle are weak.

Patient/resident safety. FABOPAD, O=?: Observe the patient closely during any procedure.
Patient/resident safety. FABOPAD, P=?: Provide privacy for all patience.
Patient/resident safety. FABOPAD, D=?: Do not perform any procedures on patients unless instucted/authorized to do so.
Fire Safety, Fire needs three things or start?: Oxygen or air, fuel, heat.

If there is a fire in your area, and you are not in harms way, why should you RACE?: R=Rescue any one in harms way, move patients to safety.
A= Activate alarm/give type/location of fire.
C=Confine fire/TURNOFF Oxygen and electrical equip.
E=Extinquish fire, close window/doors to prevent drafts/USE CORRECT CLASS OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT FIRE.
Why should you close all windows and doors if there is a fire?: Because it will cut down on drafts which is oxygen and Oxygen is feul for the fire.
