Feedback:
The nurse should fan-fold top linens to the side away from the stretcher and leave a tab on the top linen for easy grasping. The nurse should make a wrinkle-free open bed with clean linen to reduce the possibility of postoperative infection. The nurse should fan-fold the top linens to the side opposite the client's stretcher. Top linens and blankets should not be tucked in and fan-folded to the foot of the bed so that the client can be moved into the bed easily.
