  2. Cover only the head with a towel to keep it warm
  3. Tuck the blanket behind the back and under the legs
  4. Use no cover during transport to save time
Show answer

Correct answer: Tuck the blanket behind the back and under the legs

A well-tucked bath blanket keeps skin from showing and keeps the resident warm.
