During a transfer when would you ease a client to the nearest surface?

You would ease a client to the nearest surface during a transfer when the client shows signs of instability, fatigue, or difficulty maintaining their balance. This approach minimizes the risk of falls or injury by providing immediate support. Additionally, if the client expresses discomfort or uncertainty about the transfer, it’s prudent to prioritize their safety by guiding them to a stable surface. Always assess the situation and the client's needs before proceeding with any transfer.
