2. Occupied Bed – the bed making process in which the bed is made while the
patient is in it.
3. Surgical Bed / Post-Op Bed – the bed making process in which the bed is
prepared to receive a patient with minimum disturbance after his return from
the recovery room.
4. Closed Bed – an empty hospital bed which is made when the occupant has
been discharge in the hospital.
PURPOSES OF BEDMAKING
1. To provide a suitable environment in which the patient will be able to carry on
normal body activities 24 hours a day when he can’t be out of bed.

to be out of bed for periods of time.
Hospital beds
- are usually 66cm (26in) high and 0.9 (3ft) wide
- narrower than the usual bed (so that the nurse can reach the client from either side of
the bed without undue stretching
Mattresses
- Usually covered with water repellent material that resists soiling and can be clean
easily.
- It has handles on the sides called lugs by which the mattress can be moved.
Side rails (safety sides)
- They are of various shapes and sizes and are usually made of metal.
- A bed can have two full-length side rails or four half-or-quarter length side rails
(split rails)
- When side rails are being used, it is important that the nurse never leave the
bedside while the rail is lowered.
- Positions: Up and down ; high, immediate, and low
- risk clients.
Footboard or Footboot
- These are used to support the immobilized client’s foot in a normal right angle to
the legs to prevent plantar flexion contractures.
Bed cradles
- It is a device designed to keep the top bedclothes off the feet, legs, and even
abdomen of a client
- Most common is a curved metal rod that fits over the bed
Intravenous Rods (poles, stands, standards)
- Usually made of metal, support IV infusion containers while fluid is being
administered to a client.
COMMONLY USED BED POSITIONS
Flat
- Mattress is completely horizontal
- To maintain spinal alignment for clients with spinal injuries
- To assist clients to move and turn in bed-making by nurse
Fowler’s Position
- Semisitting position in which head of bed is raised to angle at least 45 degree.
Knees may be flexed or horizontal.
- Convenient for eating, reading, visiting, watching TV
- Relief from lying positions
- To promote lung expansion for client with respiratory problem
- To assist client a sitting position on the edge of the bed
Semi Fowler’s position
- Head of bed is raised only 30 degree angle
- Relief from lying positions
- To promote lung expansion
Trendelenburg’s position
- Head of bed is lowered and the foot raised in straight incline
- To promote venous circulation in certain clients
- To provide postural drainage of basal lung lobes
Reverse Trendelenburg’s position
- Head of bed is raised and foot lowered. Straight tilt in direction opposite to
trendelenburg’s position
- To promote stomach emptying and prevent esophageal reflux in client with hiatal

ASSESSMENT:
1. Assess the client's health status to determine that the person can safely get out
of bed. In some hospitals it is necessary to have a written order if the client has
been in bed continuously.
2. Assess the client's pulse and respirations if indicated.
3. Note all the tubes and equipment connected to the client because they may
influence the need for additional lines or water-proof pads.
EQUIPMENTS NEEDED (in order of use)
1. Mattress pad 6. Blanket
2. Bottom sheet 7. Spread sheet
3. Rubber or plastic draw sheet 8. Pillowcase for each pillow
4. Cloth draw sheet 9. Pillow
5. Top sheet For Post-Op Bed: 6 – 8 Hot Water Bag
ASEPSIS IN BEDMAKING
1. Wash hands before performing the procedure, to prevent transfer of micro-
organism from the caregivers hand to patient's bed.
2. Soiled linen is not placed on the floor. The floor if one of the most contaminated
area in the hospital. Linen hampers are provided for the disposal of soiled linen.
Handle linen carefully avoid shaking it, or tossing it into the laundry hamper.
3. Use all linen necessary to provide care to the patient but do not excess. Bringing
extra clean linen into the patient’s room may contaminate it, and it cannot be
used for another patient.
4. When the linen change is complete, the room is left in order. Soiled supplies are
promptly removed.
BODY MECHANICS IN BED – MAKING
1. Raise the bed to a comfortable working height (hip level). This will prevent
unnecessary strain on the caregivers back and allows the use of correct body
mechanics by lowering the center of gravity and avoiding stretching of the lower
back muscles.
2. When you must bend, bend your knees not your back, to prevent strain on the
caregivers back.
3. Point your toes and face in the direction that you are moving. Avoid twisting, to
have a proper balance.
4. Conserve steps by making as few trips around the bed as possible. Make the bed
completely on the side before moving to the other side.
PRACTICE GUIDELINES (things to remember)
- Wash hand thoroughly after handling a client’s bed linen. (Linens and equipment
that have been soiled with secretions and excretions harbor microorganisms that
can be transmitted to others directly or by the nurse’s hands or uniform.
- Hold soiled linen away from uniform
- Linen for one client is never placed on another client’s bed.
- Place soiled linen directly in a portable linen hamper or tucked into a pillow case
at the end of the bed before it is gathered up for disposal.
- Do not shake soiled linen in the air because shaking can disseminate secretions
and excretions and the microorganisms they contain.
- When stripping and making bed, conserve time and energy by stripping and
making up one side as much as possible before working on the other side.
