6. Roll the patient on to his/her back.
NOTE: Attendants will reverse roles.
7. After the patient has been positioned once again
on his/her back, you now need to roll the patient
to their RIGHT-SIDE (facing the attendant on
the LEFT).
8. With an attendant on each side of the bed and
up against the mattress, the attendant on the
right-hand side of the bed will elevate the LEFT
KNEE and position his/her LEFT-HAND on the
elevated KNEE and his/her RIGHT-HAND
under the patient’s LEFT SHOULDER. The
attendant will slowly push on the knee and
assist with a slight lift of the shoulder and the
patient will easily roll onto their side.
9. Pull the fabrics of the seat and back across the
mattress until they are smooth.
10. Roll the patient onto their back and they should
be approximately centered on the sling.

to the sling.
