Answer

To safely organize the environment prior to moving a patient, you should take actions that prevent accidents, falls, and injuries. Therefore, you must lock the wheels of the bed and/or chair to prevent them from rolling away unexpectedly during transfer, and adjust the bed and/or stretcher to the correct ergonomic height for the caregivers involved. Ignoring clutter is unsafe as it creates tripping hazards, and charging mobile equipment is unrelated to organizing the immediate physical environment for a patient transfer.
