Question

Clean bed linen placed in a resident's room but NOT used should be:

A. Returned to the linen closet
B. Used for a resident in the next room
C. Taken to the nurse in charge
D. Put in the dirty linen container

Answer 1

D. Put in the dirty linen container

Step-by-step explanation:

Clean bedding placed in a resident's room should be changed and put in the dirty linen container even if unused. This should be done because a resident's room should be as clean as possible, yet it is easy for a bedding to accumulate dust particles and small organisms such as dust mites even if it has not been used. In order for cleaning in the resident's room to be effective, it is appropriate that such bedding be washed to remove these impurities even if the bedding has not been used.

Answer 2

Clean bed linen placed in a resident's room but NOT used should be D. Put in the dirty linen container.
