The authors present the Evidence-Based Safe Patient Handling Program, a practical system of guidelines to help reduce care-giver and patient injuries during patient handling. Each chapter explains how to apply the program to specific clinical settings, such as medical and surgical, critical care, ortho-paedics, pediatrics, labor and delivery, reha-bilitation settings, the perioperative suite, and nursing homes.
