Feedback:
The nurse is making a closed bed. In a closed bed, the top covers are pulled up to the head of the bed over the bottom covers. In an open bed, the top covers are fan-folded to the foot of the bed so that the client can get into the bed easily. Changing bed linens with the client in the bed is called making an occupied bed. In the postoperative bed, the linens are placed all to one side or folded to the bottom to keep them out of the way for easy transfer of the semiconscious client.
