Feedback:
Upper bed clothing does not weigh on the client's body or restrict movements but still covers his or her shoulders. Necessary supplies for bed making include clean linens, a tight bottom sheet to prevent wrinkles that might cause skin irritation. Adjustments in basic bed making may be necessary for comfort and to suit individual client conditions.
