After making the bed of a 69 year-old client with dementia, which of the following actions has priority?
  1. Put the bed in the lowest position.
  2. Put the call button within the client’s reach.
  3. Put the top side rails in the upright position.
  4. Put soiled linen in a hamper or biohazard bag.
Explanation
Answer: A - To reduce the risk of injury due to falls, the bed should be placed in the lowest position. The call button should be in reach of the client, but the immediate safety of the client comes first. All four side rails should be up to prevent accidental falls and to remind the client to stay in bed. Soiled linens should be placed in a hamper or biohazard bag, but client safety is a priority.
