1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals.
The anatomy which is the physical structure of the body and the physiology which is the normal functions of the body help us to move our limbs. Muscles work like leavers and this allow the bones at a joint to work like hinges. When moving someone it is important to remember that the muscles can only move the joint as far as the bone will allow them.
1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual.
If you have someone who has had a stroke this may cause them to loose the use of their limbs which mean that it is important to remember that you dress the bad side first and undress it last. This is so you are not pulling their muscles in the direction they won’t go.
3.3 Identify any immediate risks to the individual.

No matter how small the risk is if you don’t correct it straight away it could lead to a massive risk. You should also have a risk assessment in place which may need to be changed.
3.4 Describe actions to take in relation to identified risks.
All identified risks should be reported to the nurse or the manager on duty that day so they can be corrected and a new risk assessment can be in
