Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Attaching the drainage bag to the bed frame ensures that it is secure and not at risk of being knocked over or pulled on, which could potentially cause discomfort or harm to the patient. It also makes it easily accessible for monitoring and emptying as needed. Attaching it to an IV bag, bed rail, or chair back could lead to instability and potential harm to the patient.
