Which side of a resident should a nursing assistant move first when transferring a resident with a weak side?

Back side
Leg side
Stronger side
Weaker side

The correct answer is: Stronger side

When transferring a resident with a weak side, the nursing assistant should move the stronger side first. This is important for providing support and stability to the resident during the transfer process. By moving the stronger side first, the assistant can help the resident feel more secure and balanced, reducing the risk of falls or injury. Moving the weaker side first could cause the resident to feel unsteady or unsupported, making the transfer more difficult and potentially unsafe.
