Which device is used for easy positioning with minimal movement and reduces patient discomfort during transfer?

• A. Scoop Stretcher
• B. Log Roll Technique
• C. Rear
• D. Left

Answer: (A)

The device being described is the scoop stretcher. It’s built as two halves that slide underneath the patient without requiring them to be moved or lifted, then locked together to form one smooth cradle. This design lets you reposition or transfer someone with minimal movement, which helps protect the spine and reduces discomfort during transfer from bed, chair, or floor to a stretcher.

A log roll technique is a method for turning a patient while maintaining spinal alignment, not a device used for the transfer itself. The other options aren’t devices that facilitate easy positioning during transfer, so they don’t provide the same gentle, minimal-movement benefit as the scoop stretcher.
