Colorado CNA Practice Exam

A transfer belt, also known as a gait belt, should be placed around the resident's waist to provide maximum support and stability during transfers. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not provide proper support and can cause discomfort or injury to the resident. Placing the belt around the arms does not provide enough support and can restrict arm movement. Placing it around the chest can restrict breathing and place pressure on the rib cage. Placing it around the legs is not recommended as it can cause discomfort and may restrict leg movement.
