When transferring a patient from a wheelchair to a table, ensure the wheelchair is locked and positioned at a 45-degree angle and as close as possible to the table. Use proper body mechanics by bending at the knees, keeping your back straight, and using a gait belt for support. Communicate clearly with the patient throughout, encouraging them to assist if able, to ensure their comfort and safety during the transfer.
