Explain situations that may require additional support necessary for safer moving and handling?

Situations that may require additional support for safer moving and handling include when a patient has limited mobility due to injury or illness, when they are significantly overweight, or when they are disoriented or agitated. Additionally, environments with clutter or inadequate space can pose risks, necessitating extra assistance or equipment. Caregivers may also need support when transferring individuals with cognitive impairments or when handling multiple patients simultaneously. In such cases, using proper techniques, tools, and teamwork is essential to ensure safety for both the caregiver and the individual being moved.
