    Do nursing homes have any requirements to protect their staff from possible injuries?? I work in a LTC facility and have added a 350+ pound nearly immobile patient to my roster. I'm concerned about the safety of the CNA's (there is ONE assigned to that hall) when working with obese elderly patients. We are a no lift facility, and we have a couple of mechanical lifts available, but what about other equipment? I mean, to lift a leg into the bed can be (I'm guessing) about a hundred pounds. How can I do an adequate skin assessment on this person? It's not only about filling beds-I mean geez! What types of equipment/staffing should I be asking for? Thanks for your time!
