The head of the client's bed should be elevated 20 to 30 degrees to prevent pooling of blood and discoloration of the face. Clutter should be removed from the room as it increases anxiety and does not promote respect. The client is covered with a light sheet as the weight of a heavy blanket may bruise or damage his or her skin. Having dentures in place and belongings in a specific container (not a trash bag) are appropriate.
