Answer: The four types of bed making are open bed, Closed bed, occupied bed, bed with cradle
Bed making is a process of preparing different types of bed that are made available to the patients in order to make them comfortable.
Open bed it is for new patients, or for patients who are out of beds for short period of time
Closed bed is made once the patient has been discharged and after when the room/terminal has been properly cleaned for the next patient to use it. Occupied bed is made while the patient is in it, and is normally made after the morning bath
Bed with cradle is made with cradle placed under the the top sheet to prevent sheets from touching parts of the patient’s body. It is mainly used for patients who have burns, skin ulcers, blood clots etc
