Initiating turning
•
Continue turning of the patient with the motor roll while you support the person's head and
hips until the patient is lying on the side. Then place the
patient’s
lower legs parallel while
the upper top leg is slightly bent, cf. fig. 6.2.3. If needed, position a cushion along the
patient’s straight leg so the top leg may rest on this upon
turning.
