Ms. Olive Spencer is to remain on bed rest until her second postoperative day. During this period, what method of bed making would be most appropriate?
  1. Making an unoccupied bed.
  2. Making an occupied bed.
  3. Making a closed bed.
  4. Making an open bed.
Explanation
Answer: B - Making an occupied bed involves making the bed with a person in it. In doing this, you keep the person in good alignment. Follow restrictions or limits in the person’s movement or position. Choice A is inaccurate terminology. A closed bed (Choice C) is made after a person is discharged. It is made for a new patient. The bed is made after the bed frame and mattress are cleaned and disinfected. A closed bed becomes an open bed (Choice D) by folding the top linens back. The open bed lets the person get into bed with ease.
