While rollover is generally a safe procedure, there are some risks to be aware of:
Injury to Nursing Staff: Improper technique or lack of assistance can lead to musculoskeletal injuries among nursing staff. Patient Discomfort or Injury: Incorrect repositioning can cause pain or exacerbate existing injuries in patients. Skin Tears and Bruising: Patients with fragile skin are at risk of skin tears or bruising during the rollover process.
To mitigate these risks, it is essential to use proper techniques, seek assistance when needed, and employ assistive devices appropriately.
