Which of the following is a bed mobility transfer technique used to move between supine and prone?

• A. Supine to/from side-lying
• B. Supine <--> Prone
• C. Side-lying to sitting (Swoop Method, Modified Swoop Method)
• D. Draw Sheet (One-Person, Two-Person)

Answer: (B)

Moving directly between lying on the back and lying on the stomach is a bed mobility transfer that uses a controlled roll or pivot to keep the spine aligned and reduce shear. This specific transition is used when you need to flip a patient from supine to prone or vice versa, making it the technique that matches moving between those two positions. The other options describe transfers involving different orientations (back to side-lying, side-lying to sitting) or general in-bed repositioning with a sheet, not the direct supine-prone switch.
