Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ambulatory persons who are alert and oriented are not at risk for entrapment within the hospital bed system as they are able to move independently and do not require the use of bed side rails or other restraint devices. Persons who are older or have poor muscle control may be more at risk for entrapment, and persons who are restrained may be at risk if the restraints are not applied correctly or the bed has design flaws that could contribute to entrapment.
