To transfer a patient from a wheelchair to a car, the wheelchair should be positioned at an angle of:

  1. 30 degrees

  2. 45 degrees

  3. 60 degrees

  4. 90 degrees

The correct answer is: 30 degrees

When transferring a patient from a wheelchair to a car, it is essential to position the wheelchair at a 30-degree angle. This angle allows for easier and safer transfer of the patient between the two surfaces. Placing the wheelchair at a 30-degree angle provides enough space for the patient to move without strain and reduces the risk of accidents during the transfer process. Options B, C, and D are not the correct angles for transferring a patient from a wheelchair to a car. Angle A (30 degrees) is the most appropriate for this specific scenario.
