Question

a support worker is injured while transferring a client to a wheelchair. which of the following statements is correct? ch.20
○ this is workplace violence.
○ the support worker needs to complete an incident report.
○ this is malpractice.
○ this is client abuse.

Explanation:

When a support worker is injured while performing a job - related task (transferring a client to a wheelchair), the standard procedure is to complete an incident report. Workplace violence implies intentional harm from others, malpractice is related to professional negligence (not applicable here as it's an injury during a task), and client abuse is harm to the client (not the worker here). So the correct statement is that the support worker needs to complete an incident report.

Answer:

The support worker needs to complete an incident report.
