By moving a patient up in bed, a nurse can convey a world of practical benefits to patients and herself. Firstly, it makes patients more comfortable. They can then find suitable resting positions that relieve pressure points from their bodies and this decreases the possibility of pressure sores developing on the bedridden patient. Secondly, more upright positions make breathing easier by aiding better posture and help to keep out respiratory infections. it improves respiration Thirdly, it makes patients less dependent and enables them to do certain tasks. Often of key importance here is that patients may communicate with others on an equal footing whereas otherwise they would be kept at arm's length. This has a beneficial effect upon their mental health and well-being. For those doing the lifting, a full sit makes it easier. With the hands suctioned to the bed, no knees buckling under a patient, and steps done smoothly one right after another-we dare say that in process there will now come none for one to be hurt. In these ways is this invaluable to modern patient care.
