After you finish care and leave the bedside, how should the bed be positioned?
- A.Raised high so the resident cannot get out alone
- B.At its lowest position with the wheels locked
- C.At working height so the next task starts faster
- D.Slightly tilted toward the side the resident exits
Correct answer
B. At its lowest position with the wheels locked
Why
The lowest bed position shortens any fall and makes getting out safer, and locked wheels keep the bed from rolling. A raised or tilted bed increases fall risk.
