What do you check after you turn the resident?

  1. That the bed is at its lowest height and the rails are down
  2. That the sheet is tucked in
  3. That the resident is not lying on the bottom arm
  4. That the resident has eaten
Show answer

Correct answer: That the resident is not lying on the bottom arm

A trapped bottom arm can be hurt or lose circulation, so it should lie free of the body.
