Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Because of the importance of cost control and prevention of infection transmission,avoid bringing excess linen into a patient's room.Once you bring linen into a patient's room,even if the linen is not used,it must be laundered before being used by another patient.Do not place back into the linen area or use in another patient's room.Excess linen lying around a patient's room creates clutter and obstacles for patient care activities.
