Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Placing the soiled sheet in a laundry bag is the appropriate safety measure for the nurse when making a client's bed. This prevents the transmission of infection or contamination to other surfaces in the room. Beginning at the head and moving toward the foot or mitering corners at the head of the bed are proper techniques for making a bed, but they are not specific safety measures. Preparing the client is not related to the safety of the nurse.
