Make sure the chair is within arm's reach of you so you can get to it easily. If you are using a wheelchair, make sure the wheels are locked and swing away the foot rests at the bottom of the chair so the patient can slide into it easily. Putting the chair on the patient's dominant side will help you move them more easily, as they will be able to put more strength into you as you transfer them. If there is an arm guard on the bed, lower it so it is not in the way. Gently turn the patient so they are on their side, facing the chair. Ask them to keep their arms tucked into their chest or under their head so they feel supported. Try to roll the patient as close to the edge of the bed as possible when you shift them onto their side. Place 1 arm under the patient's shoulders and 1 arm behind their knees. Bend your knees as you swing the patient's feet off the edge of the bed. Shift your weight to your back foot and gently ease them into an upright sitting position, facing you. Shift the patient to the edge of the bed and lower the bed so their feet are touching the ground. Make sure you support the patient's upper body with your arm as you lower the bed to ensure they do not fall forward. If the patient has suffered a stroke or other issues that affects their motor functions, attach a gait belt around their waist. The gait belt will also give you a better grip during the transfer so the patient does not fall out of your arms. Wrap the belt around the patient's waist so it is snug, but not too tight. Tuck any extra fabric at the end of the belt into the belt so it is not a tripping hazard. Do not use the gait belt as a handle or a way to pick up the patient. It's purpose is to create friction when you lift the patient so they do not fall. Stand as close as possible to the patient and reach around their chest with your hands. Lock your hands together behind the patient, at their mid back. If they have a gait belt on, you can hold the gait belt between your hands and line up your arms with the belt to create friction. The patient's outside leg will be the leg furthest from the chair. Position their leg between your knees for support and bend your knees, keeping your back straight. Tell the patient you are going to count to 3, and on 3 you are going to stand up and lift them. Make sure the patient keeps their hands by their sides so they can support themselves when you lift them. If the patient has strength in their legs, instruct the patient to support their weight with their legs as you transfer them. Count out loud, "1-2-3." On "3," slowly stand up, using your legs to lift the patient. As you lift the patient, ask them to push off the bed using their hands. Shift the patient towards the chair, making sure your back is aligned with your hips. Once the patient's legs touch the seat of the chair, bend your knees and slowly lower them into the seat. Have the patient reach for the armrests to support themselves as you lower them down. If you are lowering them into a wheelchair, you can then reposition the feet guards and instruct the patient to put their feet in the guards so they are well supported in the chair. Confirm the move went well by asking the patient, "How do you feel?" or "Feeling okay in the chair?" If they answer "yes," you can wheel them away in the chair or let them sit in the chair on their own.

Soap molds are basically boxes for the liquid batter to set in. Any dry plastic container works, or you can buy silicone molds specifically for soap. If you have a wooden container, cover the inside with a silicone liner or freezer paper. Soap molds are available online and at some general stores. If you need a liner, freezer papers are available at most supermarkets. Fill each mold close to the top. Tap the mold against a hard surface a few times to break up air bubbles. Use a rubber spatula to scrape out excess batter to pour into a different mold or throw away. Bump the mold against a hard surface a few times if it looks frothy. Try dropping it from a low height to knock out stubborn air bubbles. Don't worry about breaking the soap into smaller bars yet. Wait until the soap solidifies for that. Tape a piece of cardboard over the mold to cover the soap. Then, wrap a towel around the entire mold to insulate it. Doing this helps the mold set properly, leading to better soap. If you don't have cardboard, place parchment paper over the mold. The saponification process takes at least a day to happen. When you remove the soap from the mold, it will be hard and ready for cutting. Use a sharp kitchen knife to break the soap down into smaller bars. To smooth out the sides, scrape the soap with a vegetable peelers. Keep your soap at room temperature and out of the reach of children and pets. If you used fresh lye, the soap is still dangerous to touch at this point. If your soap is too soft to cut, let it rest for an extra day. This happens most often in large, single molds. Move the soap bars into a cool but well-ventilated area. Try placing them near a window in your basement or on a countertop. Put them on top of wax paper or another disposable material to prevent the oils from damaging the surface the soap is on. Soap takes about 4 weeks to finish curing. Soap can take anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks to cure completely. The time it needs depends on the oils you used. Check your recipe for the recommended curing time. Soap made using the melt and pour method typically solidifies within a few hours. At most, let it rest overnight before taking it out of the mold.
