The nurse is caring for a client who is on bed rest with bathroom privileges. While the client is in the bathroom, the nurse changes the client's bed and makes the bed in what way?
1. Unoccupied open bed
2. Occupied open bed
3. Unoccupied closed bed
4. Surgical bed
Correct Answer: 1
The bed is unoccupied, and the nurse would make an open bed, with the top sheets folded back, so the bed is ready for the client to return to. An occupied bed would be used if the client were unable to get out of bed. A closed bed is made with the top covers over the entire bed to keep the bed clean when not in use. A surgical bed would be made using extra materials in preparation for the returning postoperative client.
