Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should document that the client fell out of bed and that the bed safety-monitoring device was not activated. This accurately reflects what happened and identifies the cause of the fall. The other options either blame the malfunction of the device or imply that the client was responsible for removing the leg band, which may not be the case. Additionally, the fact that there were no injuries should also be documented.
