Accident Prevention in Patient Transfers

As a nurse working in a busy pediatric unit, you observe a caregiver attempting to lift an infant from a crib without assistance. The crib is elevated, making the action potentially hazardous for both the caregiver and the infant.

To help prevent falls and injuries, it is essential to employ proper techniques when transferring patients. In this situation, the best practice is to have at least ___________ person(s) assist with the lifting to ensure safety and minimize the risk of accidents.
