Principles of Bed Making
1) Microorganisms are found everywhere on the skin, on the
articles used by the patient and in the environment. The nurse
takes care to prevent the transference of microorganisms.
2) A safe and comfortable bed will ensure rest, sleep and prevent
several complications in bed-ridden patients e.g. Bedsore, foot
drop, etc.
3) Good body mechanics maintain body alignment and prevents
fatigue.
4) Using side rails to aid positioning and turning, keeping call lights
within the patient’s reach.
5) After making a bed, return it to the lowest horizontal position
and verify that the wheels are locked to prevent accidental falls
when the patient gets in and out alone.
