Question

A resident is up all day. What kind of bed should you make?

A) Closed bed
B) Open bed
C) Occupied bed
D) Surgical bed

Answer 1

For a resident who is up all day, an open bed is the correct type of bed to make as it is ready for the resident to get into comfortably at their convenience.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a resident is up all day, the appropriate bed to make is an Open bed. An open bed is one that is made with the linens folded back, making it easier for the resident to get into bed when they are ready to do so. This differs from a closed bed (which is fully made with the bedspread covering the pillows), an occupied bed (made with the patient in it), and a surgical bed (prepared for a patient returning from surgery, with the linens folded down to allow for easy transfer).
