She stated the FM of Resident #1 felt they needed training on their transfers, so she was asked to conduct the training. The SC stated CNA B was present for the training. The SC stated the particular method that she trained staff to employ was one staff person behind the resident operating the mechanical lift and one in front guiding her legs and feet.
