Explanation:

1. The Fowler's position is a semi - sitting position. It is commonly used in healthcare settings for patients/residents.
2. When transferring a resident to a wheelchair, checking the resident's alignment in the chair after transfer is correct practice. A wheelchair should be locked (not locked and movable), a standard wheelchair is not folded by turning it upside - down, and not all residents need assistance to transfer to a wheelchair.
3. A sling is used to transfer residents who cannot bear weight on their legs. A slide board is for sliding transfers, a wheeled table is not for transfers of non - weight - bearing residents, and a folded blanket is not a transfer device for non - weight - bearing residents.

Answer:

1. A. It is a semi - sitting position
2. B. The NA should check the resident's alignment in the chair after a transfer is complete.
3. A. Sling
