How do Slippery sheets work for patient transfer?
A 'slippery sheet' is placed on a bed or gurney under the patient's body to allow them to be easily moved over the surface of the bed. The friction reducing material on the side of the sheet next to the bed allows the patient to be moved much easier than they would be without the use of the 'slippery sheet'. This is safer for both the patient and the caregiver.
Can you keep the laptop on the bed and work?
While setting down a laptop on the bed is okay for a short period of time, it is not recommended that you keep it there for a long period of time. Some laptops overheat when their vents and fans can not push the air out. Look at your laptop's manual to find out where your fans are and use your best judgement.
Is it bad to use a laptop on the bed?
Few points 1. If used on bed without any hard flat surface under the laptop, primarily you should be concerned about heat the laptop generates. With insufficient cooling, the laptop may shutdown when it gets overheated. 2. You may also sleep while using the laptop and may drop the laptop on the floor and damage it. 3. If you eat and drink while using laptop on bed, chances are more that you may spil some thing on the machine. 4. If you have no other option but to use the machine on bed, make sure you use some large wooden board or any large hard book under the machine to allow for air circulation under the laptop. ----- It's OK to use your laptop on the bed if you have something underneath it. For example, a book underneath your laptop will do good. The reason for this is, the heat produced by the laptop is really hot, and when there is nothing shielding the sheets ( they are highly flammable), it might catch on fire. IMPORTANT: Do not put your laptop on your lap because: 1. If you're a guy, you have a high risk of catching prostate cancer. 2. If you're a female/girl, you have a high risk of catching any other form of cancer. ____________________________________________________________ Well, i think the main reason is, the laptop cooling fan. Actually mostly laptops has cooling fans on it's base. Fan takes the air from it, and if it is on bed, then no air gets in the laptop. So it becomes hot. This is the main reason manufacturers suggests not to use laptops on bed. That's it.

What does setup mean in occupational therapy terms?
I am a PTA from the south and we do not use set up help to document a patient's support. It is a nursing or an occupational therapy terminology but I do know it means to prepare the area for the patient prior to ADL's like eating, bathing, transfers or dressing. For instance, you may have a patient who has difficulty opening up a milk carton or has to be positioned in their bed prior to eating but does not need help eating their food. If a therapist just assist with opening up their milk cartoon and positioning the patient so he or she can reach their food would be set up help for eating. Or you may have a patient that is unable to propel their own wheel chair to get in their bed but if I was push the wc chair close to the bed, the patient would be able to get out of their chair into their bed. That would be set up help with transfers. I did not help the patient get out of the chair into the bed, I just placed the wheel chair close to the bed to help set the patient up. Hope that makes sense and helps.
