Because the patient is in pain and can't get out of the bed,the nurse makes the bed using the occupied bed technique.To maintain patient comfort and privacy,the nurse keeps the patient covered while rolling from side to side slowly to prevent dizziness while exchanging the soiled and clean linens.The soiled linens are folded toward the center of the bed and tucked under the patient; then the fresh linens are applied.When the first side is completed,the patient is gently rolled over the ridge of linens in the center so the other side may be accessed.The soiled linens are then removed,and the fresh linens are smoothed over and tucked in.
